Brian Clough · « **Reply #61 on:** April 02, 2013, 11:56:45 PM »

Everyone remember, only group A is U21

Group B is U23, which means players up to and including age 23 may be used

just to be clear

Brian Clough · « **Reply #62 on:** April 03, 2013, 06:06:03 AM »

ok so BDA has been banned...this is because the manger is from Bermuda but was, for some unknown reason, placed in USA leagues. Because his team could not be moved to Bermuda, the manager started a new team in Bermuda. However the new squad cannot replace the original because the startup squad lacks youth players.

Unfortunately the only solution is to carry on with 2 byes each week. I guess the two teams can always play each other....

Onions always make you cry

See how much attention I paid to being an U-21 manager, lol.

Not to mention the fact that I do not have any 21 year olds.....

SHITE!

I didn't realise the Round 2 match was for this Wednesday, so neither of us arranged the match/sent out the invite in time.

good job everyone

Don't forget: next fixture is 15 April

Interesting stats of the day:
In Group A, only one club has managed to win away from home; away sides have only collected a total of 8 (out of 53 total) points in the group
$:-\$

Note to self: next season allow teams with academies only recently upgraded to good quality to field U23 squads if placed in the A group and require those placed in the B group to field U21 squads.

Warnings Issued

Mean Machine (normal tackling)

fc united 2010 (match was not arranged) ***Disqualified***

11hilo (match was not arranged) ***Disqualified***

fc united 2010 and 11hilo have been disqualified having now each received two red card warnings. Therefore any future matches with either team are optional; managers in group B may still arrange the scheduled match if they want and can, and the result will stand; otherwise the disqualified team's opponent will be given an automatic 1-0 win

Hi Brian please note that due to my low rating and low stadium quality, playing in my stadium won't be as profitable. Hope you can understand this and repeal the warning! Thanks so much for organizing this tournament and careful monitoring.

I'm am under the impression that stadium size is the primary determinant of match revenue and quality has only a very small effect. However if you can show me this not to be always true I would happily rescind the warning and change the rule. My only motivation for that rule is to maximize revenue, so if you of something I do not, please share!

Brian Clough · « **Reply #72 on:** April 18, 2013, 04:37:23 AM »

okay so i see you are right, and the warnings are happily rescinded...

I will re-word the rule to read
"Matches are held in the stadium that maximizes revenue from ticket sales" and include the basic info for calculating (potential) ticket revenues.
