4th N. American Friendly tournament
« on: March 11, 2013, 11:25:29 PM »
It's that time again!

PLEASE ARRANGE YOUR MATCHES ACCORDING TO THE SCHEDULE IN A TIMELY MANNER
Group A: 1 April - 13 May 2013
Group B: 25 March - 20 May
***see 2nd post for schedules***

This time, there will be no knockout rounds will be single elimination, but there will be two separate brackets, similar to UEFA Champions and Europa leagues. Instead, the competition will primarily consist of two separate round-robin tournaments. The winners of each group will can then play each other in the "Friendly Supercup" following the round-robin portion.
Also age limitations were decided by voting; group B teams favored U23 while group A teams favored U21.
Also, teams will be placed in groups based on academy level through season 7; recent upgrades are irrelevant.

Group     Academy level           Age limitations*
B         Very Bad/Bad/Okay               U23
A         Good/Very Good/The best       U21
* 2 overage players may start; one additional overage player may come on at 45'
Also, one additional overage player may be used in matches prior to start of season 8 (25 March, 1 April) if necessary to complete the squad.

Round 1 makeup
Lubricants 1-0 fc united 2010**
**Nuna FC 0 - 1 Penguin FC
 
**team has been disqualified; match is optional for the emboldened team (see rules for more information)

The rules
- Easy tackling only! Using default tackling will give a "yellow card" warning; do this a 2nd time during the duration of the league and a 2nd such warning will be issued, and a 1 goal penalty will be assessed in the match. If "hard" tackling is used, it counts as a "Straight red card" and the 1 goal penalty. If a second "red card" (or 2 "yellow cards") is received during the tournament, it amounts to a 2 goal penalty and so on.
- No more than 2 players aged ?? (determined by poll) or more may start a match. A 3rd overage player may be subbed on at or after halftime (45') but no more than 3 may play in a match at any given time*. Note: all teams may play one additional overage player prior to the start of the new season (when new academy players will become available) The first additional overage player that is used will result in a 1 goal penalty** and a warning; use of more than that will result in a 2 goal penalty OR the number of goals to force a loss, whichever is smaller and a "red card" unless the team lost the match anyway, in which case only a yellow card will be issued. You are responsible for checking your opponent's lineup. Report infractions by posting in this thread.
- Matches are held in the stadium that maximizes revenue. This is calculated by the following equation: stadium capacity x (1 + level of stadium quality x 0.125)
where very bad = 0, okay = 2, very good = 4 and so on.
If a match is arranged incorrectly a "yellow card" warning will be issued.
- If you accept a friendly match with a club other than your assigned competitor, or fail to arrange/accept a friendly invitation, then it counts as a forfeit (loss) with a 3 goal penalty**, and a "red card" issued to the team failing to arrange the match in a timely manner. Teams can accept the forfeit as early as 12:00 UTC the day before the fixture by posting their situation in the thread so they may arrange an alternate friendly match, so make your friendly arrangements EARLY. However, if the manager posts a sincere apology after the first "red card" warning they receive, it will be reduced to a "yellow card". Any additional "red cards" cannot be changed.
-Accumulating 2 "red cards" or 5 "yellow cards" through the duration of a tournament will result in responsible club being DISQUALIFIED and not being approved for friendly tournaments/minileagues for the following 2 seasons.

-if a team is disqualified from the tournament through warning accumulation, their remaining matches are optional at the discretion of the opponent. If you are scheduled to play a disqualified team, you may choose not to play them and you will be given a 1-0 win (goals credited to the winning team); or you can play them and the result will stand.

* automatic substitutions made due to injury do NOT count toward this; overage players may be substituted for overage players.
** goal penalties are accrued to goals scored tally as negative goals (goals are not awarded to opponent for YC infractions while 1 goal is awarded for RC infractions), which may result in a negative GS

Tiebreakers for teams level on points
1.   Head to Head result; no away goal rule
2.   Goal Difference
3.   Goals scored
4.   Club Rating (lowest first)

No worries...teams could use one additional overage player during the 1-2 matches before the season reset last season, so we will do the same this time. That rule won't be strictly enforced until the new season starts and new academy players become available.

No one needs to have 11 youths in order to play.

from the OP:
- No more than 2 players aged ?? (to be determined by poll) or more may start a match. A 3rd overage player may be subbed on at or after halftime (45') but no more than 3 overage players may appear in a match at any given time
The "??" will be determined by voting in the poll. In case of a tie, the higher age will be used.
 
Also,

...teams could use one additional overage player during the 1-2 matches before the [start of the new season] last season, so we will do the same this time.....

Does that answer your question? :)

hmm maybe you should decide which group you'd prefer to be in.  :-\
If you don't have a preference, I wil probably assign you to whichever group is most convenient. For now you'll be in Group A.
