NFL American Football 2011 [Winner=sandman175]

[deantursx]

Are you ready for some fooottttballlll? We're talking about American Football here, the one that's way more exciting, and the name makes way less sense. I will accept 32 players (because there's 32 teams in the NFL) and 2 reserves. This will be my 6th tournament, although the other 5 are still in progress. I will accept both premium and freemium members for this tournament, but freemiums will need to keep two slots open at all times. This is because we will be playing two weeks at a time.

All games in this tournament will be 1v1, Sequential, Automatic, Escalating, Chained, and Sunny. 32 players will sign up for all of the NFL teams, and then we will run the season according to the exact schedule of the NFL. In case you don't know, the NFL works like this:

32 teams are separated into 8 divisions, which will be listed below. Four of which are in the NFC and four are in the AFC. Each team plays 16 games over 17 weeks (we'll condense it to around 5 weeks), 6 of which are against their division rivals. After the season, the top team from each division, along with two wild card teams(2 for NFC and 2 for AFC) make it to the playoffs. Therefore 12 out of 32 teams will make it to the playoffs. The teams with the higher seeds will play on their home fields.

Our tournament shall work exactly the same way, except for ties won't be settled by head-to-head record, but by play-in games. All play-in games will be on the Random map, with a 50 round limit.

Each player shall select their team, and then select their home maps from the list of accepted maps below. I will not budge on the list of acceptable maps; please don't ask me to use a map that isn't on the list. At the end of the season, we will have the playoffs.

In the playoffs, the 4th seed will battle the 5th seed, and the 3rd seed will battle the 6th seed (in both conferences). After that the 1st seed will play the winner of 4th/5th and then 2nd seed will play the winner of 3rd/6th. The winners of those games will play in the Conference Championship. The Conference Championship winners will then play each other in the Super Bowl. Like in the NFL, all of the playoff games shall be only one game. However, the Superbowl shall be a best of 5 series. Two games on each of the home maps, and then one on Random.


I'm pleased to announce that the person with the best regular season record (doesn't include playoffs) will receive a General Achievement Medal!! If there is a tie, it will go down to the head to head record. If there are 3 or more of them, it will go to head to head record only if everybody tied has played everybody else tied. In the event that there is no head-to-head record to go off of, there will be a game on Random map to decide who gets the medal.


If you want in on this league, please post which team you'd like to play for, and what you'd like your home map to be in this thread. A list of the remaining teams will be seen below on the next post.

[HighlanderAttack]

So arms race is unacceptable

[rjhankey]

Count me in please - I can't believe I would be third person to request the Lions, not bad considering their "fame".

Since they're taken, I'll play as the Saints on the Route 66 map.

[ckyrias]

So arms race is unacceptable

yeah i dont get that... you have a list of acceptable maps and random is in it!!
i wanted India...

[kuma32478]

[deantursx]

So arms race is unacceptable

yeah i dont get that... you have a list of acceptable maps and random is in it!!
i wanted India...

Sorry guys but thats how I want to run the tournament. Arms Race is a map where if someone hasn't played it enough times already, they'll get crushed. I tried to pick maps that general skill at playing conquer club would apply to. As for India, thats actually a fine map for this, but I can't make an exception! I didn't put it on the list, so it shall not be played.

[blindman30]

In please

Bengals

Random (if I cant pick random then poker club)

[Fuzzy316]

In please, Cardinals, and Balkan Pen.

[I_AM_BOGEY]

in with niners and classic please

[Tupence]

In as the Tennessee Titans on Cyprus please

[HighlanderAttack]

you're in...you'll be playing two games at once for this tournament though, so you'll need to keep those spots open

does this mean you are doing two weeks at a time? Or does it mean two games equal a game or what? I just want to be clear before I join--thanks

Tampa Bay - Malta

[RedRover23B]

Washington Redskins - British Isles
