What’s this then?If you know about Argentine football, you’ll know that they play a ‘double’ season, the first half is called Torneo Apertura (Opening) and the second half is called Tornero Clausura (Closing). What I’ll be organising is such a split season, but over the calendar year, so Apertura will be between GW20 and GW38 of 2011/12, and Clausura will be between GW1 and GW19 of 2012/13. So, there’ll be two Torneo champions, with the combined scores from both generating the ‘Super Campeon’. That's right, this sidegame starts halfway through this season, and finishes half through
next season!
Is that it?No. In addition to the overall Campeonato, split into Apertura and Clausura and based on the usual FPL points, everyone will also be competiting in
Head-to-Head (H2H) leagues, which I will refer to as ‘Liguilla’ (Mini league).
For Apertura, everyone in the competition will be allocated into one of three Liguillas depending on their team value: Liga Debit - high team value, Liga Credit - low team value, and Liga Primera – teams are specially selected by me primarily based on their performance during 2010/11 in FISO side games. The team values will be taken from after Gameweek 14. All Apertura liguillas will end with play-offs.
For Clausura, again there will be three Liguillas, but their composition will be different again: To stay in Liga Primera, one must avoid coming in the bottom four or finishing Apertura below Average, while the Debit and Credit champions are sure to be promoted and more depending on how bad Liga Primera was(!), and the other Liguillas allocation criteria will be different (I haven’t decided what yet, and probably won’t reveal until after Apertura, proper Latin American style!).
Applications can be made anytime until GAMEWEEK 14 (start of December), while the competition itself does not start until Gameweek 19 (Apertura). You will need to re-register at the start of the 2012/13 season to confirm participation in Clausura. This game will only take up one private league quota on you account, as the points league (Campeonato) will only be generated via Excel an available to view on FISO, while the H2H leagues (Liguillas) will be proper H2H league on FPL.I'm looking for a big number of teams here so please do apply. I ran a much smaller but similar sidegame called Spring 16 last season and by all accounts everyone enjoyed it. There is no extra effort on your part other than playing FPL normally. To apply, simply add your FISO name and team name below (copy and paste the list) and I will be in contact nearer the time:Tacalabala ........ Buttery Biscuit Base
