DIY Tournament - Replay Madness :)

Hi all,

Why does anybody bring a laptop to a congress?
Right! To play SWOS in your hotel room just before you go to bed .

So I created a DIY tournament with all our custom teams.
Simple 8 group thing, top four qualify for the knockout rounds.
Each knockout round was one match, extra time, no penalties (I hate penalties, it s a Dutch/English trauma ).

One of the CPU-controlled clashes was Lemon Team vs Szeszesek.
Final score... Lemon Team 2 Szeszesek 1.
Only thing was this wasn t the first game, or the first replay, or the second....
This was the 17th replay, so the 18th game in total!!!!!!

That s 17 * 120 + 90 = 2130 minutes to decide a winner (17 games with extra time, the 18th didn t need it). That s 35 and a half hours!
Imagine what kind of World Cup chaos this would bring!
This could be our own half our soap-opera (I HATE soap-operas)...71 programmes, half an hour each...that s a bit more than 14 weeks (if transmitted each weekday night)!

Man, those players must be tired!!!!

PS: It also reminds me of that bad joke in which a kid is too late one morning and his teacher asks him why .
Well Sir, I dreamt I was playing in the World Cup Final.
So what? That doesn t explain anything.
Yes it does Sir. The match went to extra time.....

(Yep, I know that s a real bad kids joke )

so...

which custom team finally won?

I won.... so I think you know .

I beat SCSL in the final (only 2-1.... I suck ).
SCSL beat Man Utd in the Semi after 7 replays....

ahhhh

I thought it was simulation all the way...
