SWOS Cup III

myp · **Posted:** Mon Apr 18, 2011 12:41

Rules:
Each match should last for 3 minutes, except where specified.
The pitch type will be set to random.
You may pick any team within the Custom Teams set, as long as your opponent agrees.
In the group stages, you will get 3 points for a win; 1 for a draw; 0 for a defeat.
In the group stages, every team will play each other once. This means each team will play three matches.
In the event of a tie for 1st and 2nd place in the groups, the position will be decided by: 1) goal difference; 2) goals scored; 3) result against each other; 4) coin toss.

Once all group matches have been played, the top two from each group will go through to the semi-finals. The semi-finals will be seeded so that the group winners do not play each other. The semi-finals will be two-legged knock-out affairs with the winner being the team with the most goals on aggregate. Away goals do not count. If both teams are level after two legs then a one-off game is replayed until there is a positive result (this is due to there not being an option of setting extra time and penalties in SWOS friendlies).
The two semi-final winners will play a five (5) minute final.

It is the joint responsibility of each player to organise their match. If you cannot contact your opponent within the allotted timeframe, please post in this thread to make the administrator aware. Both parties are required to ask for special dispensation to play the match outside of the designated window. If this does not happen then the game is awarded 5-0 to the player who has attempted to play the match in a timely fashion. If neither player makes the administrator aware they are having difficulty organising their match, the game will be deemed a 0-0 draw.

You may have as many warm-up games as you wish, but you must agree with your opponent before starting the official Cup match. If you cannot communicate with your opponent, the first game you play is deemed to be the official cup game.

I thought it was mentioned in the Words With Friends thread. Apologies if someone's already decided to run one, though.

I'll play.

I'm about to move house, which will result in no TV or internet for a while.

WHY MUST YOU DO THIS? Everytime I have the chance to best you all at SWOS, something bad happens.

Craig · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 1236

I shall participate.

Bumpity bump. We currently have six players, so this could be a short one unless we get some more signups...

myp · **Posted:** Tue Apr 26, 2011 14:00

Whoops, totally forgot about my own deadline. Ramsea and Alberto agreed to join in Xbox Live messages, so we'll have a tournament of eight. First round will be two groups of four, with the top two from each group going through to two-legged semi-finals. The final will be one-off five minute match.

I'll probably do the draw and put the first lot of fixtures up this week, but because of the BHs I probably won't expect the matches to be played until the end of next week.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

Ok, cool beans! This is the sort of excitement I need to drag me out of revision depression.

myp · **Posted:** Thu May 05, 2011 14:30

Fuck, completely forgot about this due to the stupid BHs. I'll make the draw and post the first set of fixtures up tonight.

It'll still be finished before the Words with Friends and Street Fighter IV tournaments though.

We're having a Street Fighter tournament? You're not good yet, are you? *blows dust off arcade stick*

I think we did about two years ago, but it hasn't finished yet. And no, I'm still pretty terrible. I've managed to do the first 9 levels on Ryu's Trial and complete the Arcade mode on Easy. Medium I keep getting stuck on.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

I think it's about time we started a new tournament!

Runcle! NEMESIS!

I'm basically sat at home revising all of the time, so I'm essentially "free" whenever you want me to be! Let me know mate!

romanista · **Posted:** Mon May 16, 2011 15:56

alberto, the weekend would probably be best for me, as i'm in toulouse until then,,

myp · **Posted:** Thu May 19, 2011 12:43

You have one more week to get your first round matches played - don't leave it to the last minute, you scamps!

Vision: I should be around tonight if you want to give ours a whirl.

Well, you can get me on Raptr, Xbox Live or here, so just send me a message when you're free.

alberto, tonight?

Runcle · **Posted:** Tue May 24, 2011 12:19

I'm not sure I'll be able to play tonight. I've got band practise tonight, I could possibly play when I get back but it would be fairly late, after 11 anyway.

myp · **Posted:** Tue May 24, 2011 12:21

Remember you have until Thursday, folks!

Vision, I can play tomorrow if that's any good, or after 9:30pm tonight?

Forgot about this tonight! Tomorrow is my night though.. I'll be on before and after Waterloo Road.

Come on people, tonight or tomorrow night they need to be played. You've had nearly two weeks!

(I'm hopefully playing mine tonight)

Craig, please give me an idea of a time that suits you. I should be ok any time between 7-9pm tonight or tomorrow.

Cheers

Runcle, I have an exam in the morning - I should be fully failed and at home by around 2/3 PM. I'm free to play any time for the rest of the day/night, apart from between 7 and 8 PM when I'm playing actual real footy!

Runcle · **Posted:** Wed May 25, 2011 18:31

I'll make sure I'm playing something tomorrow night so you can pm me.

myoptikakaka (Forumites) 0-1 TheVision (Emotion Overkill)

An incredibly close game, with TheVision just shading the first half and managing to hit a diagonal shot across the goal into the back of the net. I came back in the 2nd half and had some excellent chances, but just couldn't get the ball across the line.

Good game Vision, arse-clenchingly close!

I agree with all of this... SWOS is the only game these days that gives me the sweaty palms.

That free-kick in the 89th minute I had... gutted it didn't go in.
