I'm not sure I understand the scoreboard - not much of a sports nut - What does this mean for Lawtonia?

[/quote]Quote: Code: Team Played Points Won Lost Draws Scored Received *Lawtonia 3 6 2 1 0 7 4 (+3)[/quote] It means you have played 3 matches, got a total of 6 points by winning 2 and losing 1 matches. Your team has scored 7 goals, and received 4 so a difference of 3 goals in your advantage. Furthermore, you have done best in the group, so you have qualified for the next round. From now, it's a knock-out system, so if you lose, you're out of the tournament.

I knew that if I hung around long enough I'd get a reply
Its like really slow chatting. Thanks for the good News :wave:

Phew, the Koster team barely made it to the quarterfinals.
By the way, there won't be a match for 3rd place, will there? There wasn't one in last year's European championships either.

DataGenesis and Adam Island meet twice in 3 days! This should be a close match.
But speculation is rife over whether it is the right match according to the match rules. Die hard DataGenesis fans, scared due to only a draw with Adam Island in the previous round, have pointed out irregularities in the tournament system. One fan pointed this out to a local newspaper. He said "the tournament schedule for the quarters is this: 1. Winner A vs Second nr 3 (not from A group) 2. Second B vs Winner C 3. Best nr 3 (not from B group) vs Winner B 4. Second C vs Second A Should it not follow that the schedule would be different to that published by the tournament organisers?; Mikitivity (winner A) v Isles of Koster (second no 3) LL-C (Second B) v Lawtonia (Winner c) Adam Island (Best no 3) v DataGenesis (Winner B) ---> However this is not possible because Adam is from B group... leaving.... Mikitivity (winner A) v Adam Island (Best no 3) LL-C (Second B) v Lawtonia (Winner c) Isles of Koster (second no 3) v DataGenesis (Winner B) 4. Wondervolle (second c ) vs Antrium (second a) DataGenian fans will wait patiently to see which country they need to harrass next......

DataGenesisSep 8 2005, 02:21 AM Adam Island (Best no 3) v DataGenesis (Winner B)
---> However this is not possible because Adam is from B group... [/quote] You're right. Sorry for getting it wrong again  I've updated the schedules.(I somehow got so confused by having a clear best nr 3 that I thought "oh, this is easy"...)

DataGeneian Herald:
"Puppies play Koster in IDU Championships: The IDU Championship tournament calendar was updated today, confirming the suspicions of scared DataGenian fans, that DataGenesis will indeed be playing the Isles of Koster in the quarters, not Adam Island as originally stated. Upon contacting the host nation, the organiser's offical response was "computer error, resulting from a freak occurance of cold air from the north (coincidently from DataGenesis) and a humid air pocket moving from the west of Groot Gouda". The more DataGenian fans are suspicious, crying foul (as always), however the majority of the nation is ready and happy to play their new opponents."

Groot GoudaSep 2 2005, 03:19 PM In the knock-out rounds, after a draw, the IDU ranking is used in the same way to determine the scores after extra time. If that draws too, a penalty round determines the winner. Both teams get 5 penalties. By comparing the reverse of the home team against the other team worldwide ranking the outcome is determined (equal = both score). In our example
49431 = 0 1 1 1 0 = 3 58238 = 1 0 0 1 1 = 3 Note that the ranking is reversed first, then truncated. (rankings: 134.946th and 58.238th So 3-3 after penalties. After which I give up and the highest world-wide ranking (that is the lowest number!) determines the outcome. (think of it as the second round of penalties where the first time one team scores and the other doesn't, it ends). [/quote] Please note the above, later added rules for the knock-out rounds. They have already been incorporated in my score calculator script.

Booo.. based on the scores for the 9th my time i would have won, but now on todays i lose :-(

Exciting second round
In the post-summer afternoon heat, the matches were played. Some teams had difficulty coping with the high humidity in some stadiums. The most exciting match was Isles of Koster vs DataGenesis, which was decided well into extra time. The results: Mikitivity vs. Adam Island: 1 - 3 Lloegr-Cymru vs. Lawtonia: 2 - 3 Isles of Koster vs. DataGenesis: 2 - 2 (extra time: 1 - 0) Wondervolle vs. Antrium: 4 - 1 The semifinals: Adam Island vs Lawtonia (Groot Gouda Stadium) Isles of Koster vs Wondervolle (Eastmeadow Stadium)

Interesting that of all the semi finalists, only Adam Island is not from Group C.
09-09-2005, 06:07 PM
Yes, that makes me as the only group C team not in the semi-finals even more sad
 I'd be interested if there's a mathematical explanation for it, otherwise it's incredibly coincidental.
09-09-2005, 06:44 PM
We believe these matches were fixed! We haven't failed to notice that the only countries we lost to are our major cricket rivals!
We demand the referee be extradited to the Republic to go on trial for theft! We was robbed!!! Just kidding. Great matches! We can't wait to see who the winner is.
09-10-2005, 04:11 AM
Lloegr-Cymru, surely you're not suggesting we burn the football pitches down and fight over their ashes

DataGeneian Herald:
"There were riots on the streets of Takala, the DataGenian capital, Saturday evening, after the Puppies lost to the Isles of Koster in extra time. Due to the time difference in the broadcast, some members of the community actually believed that the puppies had won, taking on the scores of the local 9th rather than the 9th Groot Gouda time, and having TV reception cut over DataGenesis 1 minute before the end of full time due to a power failure; at this point the Puppies were still leading. Instead, the Puppies were just beaten in extra time. As a result, die hard fans all over DataGenesis showed their anger by burning cute little stuffed puppies, and bananas (a local custom). By far the worst however was on the entertainment precinct of Talaka, where multimillion-dollar high rise condominiums were burnt and the casino was trashed. One fan was quoted as saying "BLEEPing Kosters, they didnt even BLEEPing win! They BLEEPing stole it from us! Did you see those BLEEPing umpires from overseas; they were BLEEPing biased towards BLEEPing Koster!" Most of the fans are simply unhappy because they were told incorrect information and lost reception. The disgraceful riots however were broadcast over the region, and while condemned by the Prime Minister, they also incited smaller protest in fellow losing nation and close emotional ally of DataGenesis, Lloegr-Cymru; the two nations having played earlier in the championships. More news on the riots at noon........
09-11-2005, 03:29 PM
We broadcast this on the regional thingimy on NS, and we do so here for posterity.
Quote: And now the news from the Lloegr-Cymru Broadcasting Corporation ... Prime Minister Geraint Llewelyn answered questions before parliament today. The opposition hammered him on the performance of the National Football team. *cut to a scene of parliament. Every Member of Parliament on both the Government and Opposition benches is bedecked with the National Football colours. The Leader of the Opposition is speaking.* OppLdr: Madame Speaker, will the Prime Minister not take personal responsibility for the abysmal performance of the team, and ... *boos and nays from the Government benches* And, Madame Speaker, the biased overseas umpires! *camera cuts to Geraint* PM: Madame Speaker, I can assure this House that the Government will take every step necessary to join countries like DataGenesis in a region-wide enquiry into adjudicating. *The Opposition Leader springs to his feet.* OppLdr: But, Madame Speaker, what will he do about the performance of the team? *Geraint, who never sat down, frowns and replies* PM: We shall sack the Manager and hire a new one, as well as spent the extra punts on training. *Camera cuts back to the anchorwoman* And in other news, the punt had a good day on the international exchanges ...[/quote]

Yay!! Looking forward to Wednesday and the final! May the best team win
 Fascinating that the two nations that finished 3rd and still made it to the quarterfinals should face one another in the final match!
09-12-2005, 04:43 PM
Considering that you tend to rank high, it could become a very exciting match, with a low score and possibly extra time or even penalties...I'm looking forward to this final.
