Typically the rocking soccer off-season is boring with not much happening for most teams. So I was wondering if you would be interested in an off-season U-21 cup?
If we have at least 6-8 teams, I ll try and conduct a U-21 cup with help from whoever is ready. The format will depend on the number of teams interested.


The how and what:
After I announce the draw users can challenge each other using the friendlies. If everyone has 5 friendly credits at the start of the cup, we can have matches on 9 consecutive days before we need to switch to alternate days. By then we should be in the final stages of the tournament.

If we have enough participation we can get it started on January the 28th or 29th (Tuesday / Wednesday) or later

So yeah if you are interested in participating and or helping run it post here and I ll add you to the list of interested teams.

For bragging rights

This will be interesting lets do it

I'm ready and eager to join thia cup. Hope every user team with a u21 squad join this tournament. Will we get some prize money?

I don't speak english!

Guys now let's make a rule no more friendlies from today. So that we may have enough tokens for the cup.

I m thinking 2-4 groups.Teams may play teams from the other groups in the group stages.
6 team gold playoffs and 6 team plate playoffs

OK I have mulled over this a bit.
I m thinking about creating groups(3groups 3-4 teams each).
Teams will play matches against teams in all the groups (to make it more fair) but more matches against teams in the group(to make the group matches more relevant)

Tie Breaker/Seeding rules
1/ 3 points for win, 1 for tie, 0 for loss
2/ Team with higher number of points
3/ Head 2 Head record
4/ Team with higher number of group points(if teams are in the same group)

Questions
^^^^^^^^^
1>How does all this sound? (too long? unfair? too short? (right now this will be 8 group matches + maximum 3 playoff matches)
2>I m thinking the first 2 rounds of the playoffs should be one match each since it may otherwise make the tournament too long and boring. What do y'all think?
3> Actually I think all the playoff rounds should be 1 match each. What say you?
