Not that I mind. I love all these entries. Very creative, and very funny. We'll have to add a few NPC teams, but this looks like a fantastic tournament now! Cool your Hydrogen there is still a chance of top three lol. Quote
Darnok Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Since almost everything is strictly based on luck, the chances are not so low. Lower then with three teams, granted. But not near zero. With nine player teams, I think a first round of sixteen makes sense, so seven NPC teams. Quote
dr_spock Posted October 1, 2018 Author Posted October 1, 2018 Thank you everyone for entering the 618 BoBS Cup. I love your creativity and humour. With 9 teams entered, I may change the format to 3 groups of 3. Adding 7 NPCs is too many. That's nearly 50% of the teams which increases the chances of NPCs winning. Quote

That's four games for each team, determining the two best teams in each round. Then play two semis: between #1 of group A vs. #2 of group B for semi #1, and vice versa for the semi #2. The winners play for the cup. Quote

Only other thing is: since there are 3 prizes, you'd have to have a "third place" game as well. Edited October 3, 2018 by Ross Fisher Quote

Darnok Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Nice! Will the group stage be handled with the usual point system, i.e. 3 points for a victory, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss? Quote
Ross Fisher Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 At least we don't have to wait days for teams to rest their little legs. Looking at you, baby team! Quote
Darnok Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) As soon as the baby team drops out, we instantly gain eleven new balls. Win-win! Edited October 5, 2018 by Drunknok Quote

Capt Wolf Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I'm just glad to hear the games will be played with balls and not pineapples! My team is already injured enough from practice. Quote

dr_spock Posted October 6, 2018 Author Posted October 6, 2018 DAY 1 RESULTS Group 1 1st half Red Rogues vs. Baby Team 5 - 1 Looks like the Red Rogues are kicking the Babies around.

Group 1 2nd half Red Rogues vs. Baby Team 1 - 3 Results: 6 - 4 The Babies tries to make a come back on the second half. They ran out time before it was bed time for them. Ocean 11 vs. Bastion Bastards 2 - 2 Results: 6 - 5 The Ocean 11 manages to keep their 1 goal lead and cruises to victory.

gedren_y Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 You might want to look at your math again for the Red Rogues vs. Baby Team results. Quote

Darnok Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Some sick results, but I guess the masses appreciate the amount of goals. Quote

Funny you should say sick, I have the flu. The random number generator in the spreadsheet like goals too. ================================= DAY 2 RESULTS Group 1 1st half Red Rogues vs. Ocean 11 5 - 4 The Rogues are red hot again scoring 5 points in the 1st half. Ocean 11 is trying to keep pace. Will the Ocean cool off the Rogues in the 2nd half? Weelond Regimentals vs. Baby Team 2 - 3 Milk appears to be a healthier drink than pineapple juice or Oktoberfest beer, giving the Babies an advantage. Group 2 1st half Astrapi Blue Hawks vs. Wrong Cargo! 3 - 1 Hawks fly around the Cargo and surprise the goalkeeper more than once. Rassilon Rascals vs. Charlatan Bay Infernos 2 - 3 The battle of the Sea Rats begins with the Infernos raising the black flag. Group 1 2nd half Red Rogues vs. Ocean 11 5 - 3 Results: 10 - 7 The Rogues found open water through the Ocean defenses. Weelond Regimentals vs. Baby Team 1 - 1 Results: 3 - 4 The Babies edge out the Regimentals in the battle of Eslandola. Will this be disputed in court? Group 2 2nd half Astrapi Blue Hawks vs. Wrong Cargo! 5 - 4 Results: 8 - 5 Wrong Cargo couldn't solve the Blue puzzle. The Astrapi Blue Hawks continue strong. Rassilon Rascals vs. Charlatan Bay Infernos 0 - 2 Results: 2 - 5 The Infernos keep the Rascals in the bay. Who will buy the drinks tonight? STANDINGS Quote
