The RulesThe rules are similar to that of the GRcade Cup but there are some changes, I've bolded rule changes
Rule 1: Can you please arrange matches IN THE THREAD, this is so in case nobody turns up I know who has made an effort to get the match done. I just want to see who is making an effort in getting a match done.
Rule 2: After a match is played can BOTH TEAMS PM ME the result and the scorers (there's a golden boot to be decided this time), it'd likely get lost in the thread and it'll be an easy go to reference when I'm doing the tables etc.
Rule 3: 6 minutes each half, no extra time or penalties (yet). To set up 6 minute halves;
Xbox Live>Online Game Modes>FIFA 09 Match Creation>Head to Head Play>Create Match
Rule 4: You play each other ONCE ONLY
The Schedule:
Group Match 1: Monday 6th April - Wednesday 8th April
Group Match 2: Thursday 9th April - Saturday 11th April
Group Match 3: Sunday 12th April - Tuesday 14th April
Rule 5: Matches MUST be played within zones above, if neither team can make a specified date then some leniency may be given but you must get my permission BEFORE the time limit expires.
Rule 6: If everyone has finished a matchday before the time limit expires, the next matchday will begin the next day.
Rule 7: Anyone who misses one match will be given a point's deduction and the match will be forfeit, do it again you are thrown out of the competition.
Rule 8: After the confusion of the head to head rule in the last competition, if level on points positions will first be decided on Goal Difference, then Goals Scored and finally the head to head rule
Rule 9: Unlike in the GRcade Cup the only draw that I will be doing is the group stage draw, after that I will post up the "route to the final" so you know all the permutations beforehand. The route to the final is based on what it's going to be at the proper World Cup next year, this will be posted along with the draw of the group stages
Rule 10: Please get your matches done and most of all have a laugh!
