Re: Sensible Days 2008

Thank you

Well, it s just an public overview for to see against who you have to play or you could play. And with 32 players there is not much space to add more fields. You will see the results on beamer screen.

Except the light advantage that group winners B and D get (they can t play with another group winner until semifinal) all looks fine.
Unfortunately this issue cannot be avoided.

It has yet to be proven to be an advantage. We never know who will win a group. The top 12 are so close together.
Unless you got really personal opponent-preferences it doesn t matter at all if you face Luca or Redhair or MCT or...Marin... ;D

Right, but on that level is not much difference between place 1 and 2, I think...
Just have a look at last years groups, 2nd places were for example Coolio_Jack, M.C.T., Playaveli and Redhair

BTW, Marin, didn t you play against one of those 2nd places?

But of course, you are right, but as you say, there is no other solution, there is only space for 4 of 6 1st places.

Problem in last chance groups:

3 players, 1 leg, DIY league.

What if all results are draws? Ok, in SWOS DIY someone will be on the last place, but that is wrong in this case.
What should we do?

Here are some suggestions:
a) No DIY league, but individual DIY cup games with penalties (end result counts and will be entered in an external sheet)
b) DIY league, and later draw some matches (lottery)
c) ...other suggestions? Pls comment...

Note: There is no option to remove the last chance groups.

I used to like the idea of penalties, but it was before I played them for the first time... It s nothing more than a lottery.
Once I won, and the other time I lost. Both time I felt the same - it s not fair.

1. What about repeating the group? it takes only about 25 minutes. And the odds it will be endless are really low.

2. If the group is still a draw after 2nd leg, then I vote to use a rank - SRN or even the rank from sensidays (table of points and goals scored on that day by those players)

The rank could be used even after 1st leg. Everything is better than penalties in my opinion.

Interesting.

About 1.: Repeating the group is a good option.
And if there is 1 winner and 2 guys with same points and goals on second place, they will play 1 leg DIY Cup + ET + pen.
What about that?

well, that s a solution I would vote for;-)

what do other think, guys?
