Not everybody did it, so it's not mandatory for this round. But make sure to provide the same information in any case. Everyone should be able to easily make out the relation of your draft team to the original.

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Since the match is still a couple of days away, it sounds like some more time isn't the answer, I guess.

Whatever it is that's not good, all the best.
 
@Synco I've sent my write up in to Physio for tomorrow.
 
Sure, PM me the writeups. :)
 
I’m itching to do a draft after not doing one for a while. Seen this one yesterday so voted on two matches. I’ll try and keep up with this one, looks interesting
 
And a nice surprise: @Invictus will fill in for Beam at the last minute with a team of 90% unpicked players. Game with @Gio will probably be up tomorrow.
 
@crappycraperson
I tried to make out if it's still possible to play the match, but as things stand we can't delay it any further.

Technically the game could still have started tomorrow together with Gio's & Invi's, and Kendrick also told me he'd prefer to play. But he's unavailable tomorrow, so that isn't possible. He therefore advances to the QFs without the game being played.

Sorry about that, would have liked to see that match. But I don't see an alternative.

I can post a write up for him if you want a match. Else you can give the win to KK.

Edit: Sent a short write up just in case you want to use

Cheers, would totally do it (or give crappy time until the other match is on) - problem is Kendrick can't play today as well.

We could put both out as a non-competitive game just so we get to see Crappy's side and KK can have some feedback before QF
 
I just wrote to GSTQ that I'll set up an exhibition match. We can all discuss it just for fun & you zoom in whenever you can. Then you can still play properly with your team in the QF.

Prost!
 
I could do @crappycraperson's graphic for some sort of Guttman vs. Capello testimonial, this is what I think he was going for (though I can't fully process Pirlo as a half-back)...

Best van Nistelrooy Jairzinho
Rivaldo Didi
Pirlo Zito
Schnellinger Moore Thuram
Chilavert
​
Alternatively, a straightforward 4-2-4 (São Paulo style in all likelihood as Guttman formalized a lot of his concepts there)...

Best Rivaldo van Nistelrooy Jairzinho
Zito Didi
Schnellinger Moore Thuram McGrain
Chilavert​
 
@Invictus
Cheers, but GSTQ has already sent me a full writeup, so he'll step in for crappy. But it would be nice if you'd contribute to the discussions.

Sorry I forgot about this due to work. I can give a write up in next hour if we can still have this match. @King Kendrick

not a big deal at all, but not really available on wednesdays. whatever works best with everyone. dont mind the unavailability.

It is ok, if it is already decided that you move on then so be it. If possible I am ok to re-do the match tonight or tomorrow per your availability if it does not screw up draft's schedule. Otherwise let it be

Ah man, tough luck.

What I don't want to do is cancelling the exhibition game now. And we're already so much behind schedule that I don't want to let the others wait any longer before reinforcements.

But what we could do is arranging a game or two among the losers. We could even ignore our best players getting drafted away during RR and treat it as testimonials :lol:
Or we could revive GSTQ's Coropa League and do a proper tourno among the losers. Although we'd have to make out what that means for the RR mode.

Whatever we do, draft fatigue is no counter argument. Whoever isn't interested in these games can simply ignore them.

Yeah suppose I could do
 
@Synco

The reinforcement pool will still remain the 3-14 players from the eliminated teams right?
