POSTSEASON FIXTURES: Putting the "I" back in DLI

OK kids, sorry for the delay but here's the scoop on postseason fixtures. This season we are NOT having a relegation. We are still having a Das Losers Invitational, but only the top 8 teams will actually get invitations. Remember, the winnder of the DLI playoff will be placed in the highest seeding pool for next season's group draw.

The bottom four teams, Legio, System, Presidents, and Reefs are all now finished for this season and are free to accept other friendlies. I am assuming that you will all still want to play again next season -- if that's not right, please let me know.

Add some rivalry between US and EU?

I have a suggestion to the Brooky Cup admin and bosses.

Today we have exactly 10 US teams and 10 European teams competing in the Brooky Cup.
But apart from some friendly teasing remarks about where the cup really belongs (!? surely it's in Europe...) we haven't really set up a real challenge between the US side and the EU side.

Now, with 20 teams, separated by a large pond between the continents, eaqually in numbers it would be great to have a "built-in" challenge in the run for the title.

Let's say that position 1 gives 20 points and the ultimate loser in this awesome cup earn 1 point. Then it would be quite easy for someone with economics or business school graduate to calculate which side that have the strongest all-together-strenght. I guess it would be the European side, but then again...who knows what the Presidents or the Wind have up their sleeves this season? ;-)

Anyone from the US side that would dare to accept such a challenge and also keep track of the standings during the cup play?
Or is this suggestion just too childish coming from a grown up man? :D

It would anyway mean that it could be worth the efforts for a team to fight for position 17 or 18 in the end just to give their US or EU team mates a chance to win this prestigeous pond war! :)

What do you think about this idea?

Good luck to ya all now!

Bug in the cup manager?

The match result in group B between my Avs and KCU is still not there?
Despite the missing result my team have correct goal diff and points while KCU seems to be "taken out" from our match??!

I hope this is the only problem occured with the cup manager tables but it might well be that other have faced similar wrong updates.
I also wonder if this can be fixed before it gets ridiculous and we have to start doing it manually again?

I'm not complaining, because I got my 3 points and +3 in goal difference, but I would hate to see that KCU don't get what they deserve from our match. ;-)

Trust Michael to correct things before its to late...

Cheers
