murf's Premiership Predictions CL Stylee Cup 15 * KNOCKOUT STAGE STARTS 4th APRIL *

Post by murf »

It is upon us once more :D

Yes, to celebrate the commencement of calendar year two thousand and fifteen, I bring you the start of the Premiership Predictions CL Stylee Cup :D

To participate in this cup all you need to do is enter as as explained below and then do your regular 'FISO Goals' Premiership Predictions for the league.

HOW TO SIGN UP

YOU MUST SIGN UP BY ENTERING THE MINILEAGUE IF YOU WANT TO PLAY!

You need to join the 'CL Stylee Cup' minileague
League ID = 37
Password: styleeee
(four 'e's)


(click on, in order: 'FISO Games' in the banner across the top, 'FISO Goals' in the dropdown menu, 'My minileagues' on the left, then fill in the 'Join a Minileague' with the details above)

Deadline = Set 21 (10th Jan)
Late entries may be possible but no pre-qualifying


HOW IT WORKS

This and the other cups are effectively informal/unofficial side competitions run by me using scores in the formal/official FISO Goals competition.

Qualifying is necessary as, due to its group structure (8 groups of 4) we are strictly limited to 32 entrants.

20 people will 'Pre-Qualify' and the remaining 12 places will be fought over during 'Qualification'

(numbers subject to change if entry is disappointing)

PRE-QUALIFYING

The following qualify automatically (assuming they sign up):
1. Reigning CL Stylee Cup 2014 Winner (Spinynorman)
2. Reigning Early Doors Cup 2014 winner (topspur)
3. Reigning Knockout Cup 2014/15 winner (drBunker)
4. The top 17 (on season-long scores) other signed up players in the Qualifying minileague after Set 21 (or top 18,19 or 20 if those from 1,2, or 3 above don't sign up).

Tie-Break Rule - if there is a tie for 17th (etc) place then all teams level on this point score will be split based on set 21 scores then set 20 etc until resolved. Those missing out will go into Qualifying.

QUALIFYING (12 more teams get through)

The remaining 12 spots will go to the winners of the Qualifying Rounds (which need not concern the pre-qualified 20). These will be held over the matches held after from Set 22 to Set 24 and will be done as a 3 Set minileague.

Late entrants will be allowed to join Qualifying at any time BUT will only start scoring from the time they enter and announce themselves on this thread.

Tie-Break Rule - if there is a tie for 12th place etc in Qualifying then all teams level on this point score will be split based on the Set 24 scores then Set 23 etc until resolved. [/size]

GROUP MATCHES - Sets 25-30

Once Qualifying is resolved the 32 qualified teams will be split into Pots as follows:
Pot A - the three champions and the 5 highest scoring pre-qualifiers
Pot B - The next 8 highest scoring pre-qualifiers
Pot C - The last 4 pre-qualifiers and the 4 top teams from Qualifying
Pot D - Teams 5-12 from Qualifying

One team from each pot, drawn at random, will go into each CL Stylee group.

In each group each team will play 6 group matches, home and away versus each other team, as per CL proper. Top 2 get through using UEFA CL tie-break rules where teams are level.

KNOCKOUT -

Sets 31-36, two legged games
Set 37 = final.
Set 38 = possible replay
(excluding any minisets of rearranged games that may appear).

All ties except the final will be knockout over two legs, home and away. Away goals counts if there is a tie and then usual tie-breakers. All draws will be totally random using the black bag with two special guests doing the draw each week as per previous seasons.

SETS/DATES

SET 21 (start), 10 Jan - Deadline for entries
SET 21 (end), 12 Jan - Allocation of 20 automatic qualification places
SETS 22-24, Pre-qualifying league for remaining 12 places
SETS 25-30, CL Stylee group games (8 groups of 4)
SETS 31-36 - Knockout stages (last 16, QFs, SFs - all 2 legs)
SET 37 - Final
SET 38 - Final replay (if required)
note - Set numbers may change if they don't pan out like the Premiership weeks.

Newcomers (FISO veterans and newbies alike) more than welcome - but you'll need to enter by the deadline(s) to get in.
As this is my own private comp, I'll be reserving the right to not admit or throw out anybody who doesn't treat FISO properly and doesn't post in good spirit.

BUMP - just 14 entrants so far with the deadline for a potential bye fast approaching (and still no sign of the 3 guaranteed byes IF they sign up on time).

Looks like we may have to tweak things if we don't get to 32 entrants. However I do it, I will give preference/byes to those who enter before the deadline (This saturday, first k.o.)

Last bump - Deadline for getting automatic qualification to the group stage = 12:45.

Only 18 in so far so you have every chance of getting automatic qualification (top 20, that have entered by 12:45, on leaderboard after this weekend) even if you have done badly to date

Entries still welcome after that but you will have to go through the qualification stages.

The 18 entrants who were in by last saturday all pre-qualify for the league stage. Quite dissapointingly low entry to date but thanks to those who are in so far.

ENTRY IS STILL OPEN FOR THE QUALIFYING STAGE FOR THE REMAINING SPOTS
Qualifying will be held over the matches held after from Set 22 to Set 24 and will be done as a 3 Set minileague - STARTS TOMORROW. See the first post for how to sign up.

Late entrants will be allowed to join Qualifying at any time BUT will only start scoring from the time they enter and either I spot them or they announce themselves on this thread.

How many people get through qualifying will depend on how many entrants we get! I can't see us getting 32 so it will be a multiple of 4 (20, 24, 28 or even 32 in comp - including 18 pre-qualifiers) to make groups easier.

Pre-qualifiers
1 177 scopsm
2 169 Lucky7s
3 167 Spinynorman
4 166 paisleypark
5 161 reds363
6 160 Moist von Lipwig
7 159 eagle224
8 157 Big Bird
9 156 steve foster
10 150 Rookster
10 150 BOLTONBOY
12 149 murf
13 147 morganb
14 138 BigJonS
15 137 Rob
16 122 Surprised
17 117 Minitoff (* failed to enter any picks last week)
18 107 primitive man

Jester is the only one in qualifying so far!

4 in Qualifying so far
Jester
Arabian Knight
stripes1973
bluenosey

+ a show of enthusiasm (but no actual entry) from Remember The Titans (PM'd)

2 people will get through as it stands (making 20 in total in the Groups). Would be great if we could get at least 2 more entrants allowing 6 qualifying spots and so have a more satisfactory 6 groups.

More than welcome - you've not missed it all - just sign up by 3pm for maximum points chances.

Qualifying only starts today (can still enter late, after 3pm today, and get points from later games - qualifying runs over 3 sets).

EDIT - confirmed at 3pm cut off. Late entrants still allowed, you just won't get points from games that have already passed/started.

Qualifying - Week 1 (22) Standings

Top 6 over 3 sets to qualify

Arabian Knight 7
bluenosey 7
Jester 6
Curwinkle 6
stripes1973 5
forestfan 5
------------------
RememberTheTitans - didn't pick
(EDIT) toffeelover - late entrant

Of the pre-qualifiers, Minitoff (again) and Rob failed to pick.

Two weeks/sets to go. If we do have some continued non-pickers then I may have to go back down to 5 groups (20 entrants in total).

New entrants are still welcome, you only have a 5 pt margin to catch up - also could well be places available if we kick out any non-pickers

Qualifying - Week 2 (23) Standings

Top 6 over 3 sets to qualify

bluenosey 7 + 11 = 18
Jester 6 + 8 = 14
Arabian Knight 7 + 5 = 12
forestfan 5 + 7 = 12
Curwinkle 6 + 5 = 11
toffeelover 0 + 9 = 9
------------------
stripes1973 5 + 3 = 8
RememberTheTitans - didn't pick either week
(EDIT)

Of the pre-qualifiers, Minitoff (again) failed to pick. One set to go. Minitoff has one last chance to show he is still keen - his absence will mean all point scorers to date would get in (unless overtaken by RememberTheTitans or a newbie)

New entrants are still welcome, you only have a 8 or 9 pt margin to catch up

As there are 24 qualifiers there will be 6 groups of 4

The top 2 in each group will get through then the best 4 (of 6) 3rd places based on:
a) Points
b) Goal difference
c) Points v top 2 teams
d) Goal difference v top 2 teams
e) Goals scored
f) Week 30 scores then 29, 28 etc back to the dawn of time.

If someone is evicted from the comp then only the top 2 in that group get through and 3rd/last goes out.

All other ties and positions etc are based on UEFA CL rules. The above only differentiates between the 3rd places.

POT A
scopsm
Lucky7s
Spinynorman
reds363

POT B

Re: murf's Premiership Predictions CL Stylee Cup 15 GROUP ST

Post by murf »

Group Draw

Myself and Kylie have emerged from our hotel room in Montreux to announce the groups that were drawn as follows:

6 groups each with a person from each pot

Group 1
A= reds363
B= Big Bird
C= BigJonS
D= Arabian Knight
Group 2
A= Lucky7s
B= Rookster
C= Minitoff
D= forestfan
Group 3
A= paisleypark
B= BOLTONBOY
C= Surprised
D= Curwinkle
Group 4
A= eagle224
B= Moist von Lipwig
C= morganb
D= bluenosey
Group 5
A= scopsm
B= steve foster
C= Rob
D= stripes1973
Group 6
A= Spinynorman
B= murf
C= primitive man
D= Jester

HOW THE GROUP STAGES WORK

We have had Pre-Qualifying and Qualifying and now have 24 teams left.

Unlike the inferior 'real' CL there will only be 6 groups of 4. These play a load of matches and the top 2 in each game get through to the Knockout Stages. Again just like the real thing (The Champions League not Coca Cola) - except we have some 3rd places getting through (see post a couple up)

Each group contains a team from each of 4 seeded pots pulled at random. Team A being from Pot A (highest seeds from qualifying stages etc.)

GROUP MATCHES

Week/sets 25-30, 6 group matches, as per CL proper, top 2 of 4 in each group get through.

Wk 1, Set 25, D v A, C v B
Wk 2, Set 26, A v C, B v D
Wk 3, Set 27, B v A, D v C
Wk 4, Set 28, A v B, C v D
Wk 5, Set 29, C v A, D v B
Wk 6, Set 30, A v D, B v C
(Note - Set numbers could change depending how they get allocated etc. The intention will be to stick to those sets around the next 6 originally scheduled Premier league matchdays (/weekends/midweeks).

All games scored as per usual in Premiership Predictions using FISO Goals

There will be spreadsheets etc keeping a track of the tables. Volunteer required from each group to update the spreadsheets/tabes.

KNOCKOUT

All 2 leg matches home & away until final.
Wks 31-32, last 16 (each match has group winner(/better runner up) away to a (lesser ) runner up/third place in first leg, no teams from same group can be drawn together).
Wks 33-34, QFs (random draws from hereon in)
Wks 35-36, SFs
Wk 37 Final
Wk 38 Final extra time & penalties (if required)

All relevant rules from CL count, i.e. tie seperation in group table & away goals in knockout. Complex FISO PP rules count after that.

Note - if a player only picks for 3 or less of the 6 weeks then they will be removed from the comp and all their matches will be ignored, leaving the others to play as if a 3 team group. If a player misses 1 or 2 weeks then they will still count as playing but just score 0 for the weeks in question. Just down to luck who they are playing in those weeks. Please try and pick for every week.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED If somebody from each group could raise a hand and volunteer to just post up the results and points table for their group each week (no need to worry about goal difference as it is CL Stylee rules) that would be great.
