Phantasy Thread: Arda Cup Football 2009

[the phantom]

Hakon- the tournament is simulated after I've done a few.... um... tweaks to the teams.

Yes, I think Sleepy started the whole football tournament thing, but if I'm remembering correctly 2007 was the first time we actually had a competition and such with points. It was very fun, but due to scheduling conflicts the organizers (Sleepy and Arctic) were never able to finish it. It particularly made me sad seeing as I was running away with the points lead.

The next year some of us wanted to do it again, so we did, simple as that. Sleepy is out of the mix now primarily because we were never able to contact him and he hasn't been seen on this site for two years.

And Shasta- glad you liked it.

[Hakon]

Well you do a great job running the tournament. Now I am wondering about those tweaks. Hmm.

[mormegil]

You know what would be great, at the end of each game a summary of how many points each player scored, not goals, points. That way we can have a 'real-time' tally of how we are doing that week...or does that 'real-time' scoring require the premium account and I must pay a fee?

[the phantom]

Thank you, Hakon, and it certainly couldn't be done without the writing and planning of Nogrod and Skip as well as the participation of those with teams in the mix, including you.

Heh heh... yes Morm, real time points results are for gold-level members only. It's $29.95 per month. But seriously, we haven't been doing that simply because it creates more work for the writers who have their own teams to manage and such. Currently I try to do the complete list after all the games are posted, but there's nothing stopping you from looking at who you have and figuring up your points on a piece of paper if you can't wait.

[Boromir88]

I wouldn't mind keeping track of the points after the matches are in, I am pretty much doing that already. Although, tp, if you could post your complete list again after Rd 2, so I can check to make sure I'm keeping track of the points properly. I am not much of a math person (recently I found 3+4 to be rather difficult ). Anyway, I could post the individual points after the matches come out, no problem...and I won't charget anything to the tournament committee either

Do you use the fantasy soccer like program on espn.com? I am now wondering because you have a link to espn.com in your profile and you mentioned something about paying $29.95 a month for something.

[Gwathagor]

Ok, now I'm making up for that really bad round I had. But, Hakon - wow! 50 points!

[Hakon]

I got lucky by having Curufin on my team. Now I am almost regretting making trades cause that team got me 50 points.
