Guidelines for Write Ups and Match Threads
- The draw has been made. Start finalising the dates when you want to play and all matches must be concluded within one week once the draft is over.
- You will be given reminders 24 hours before your match is scheduled to begin. A maximum of 24 hours delay from the scheduled start of play would be awarded in case of exceptional circumstances beyond which you might be forced to forfeit the game. Delays must be duly informed to the moderator.
- All matches will run for 24 hours and would ideally begin in the time window of 1000-1400 GMT.
- The poll will contain two choices, a win for either team. No draws or scorelines will be a part of the poll.
- The OP will contain nothing but the two formation graphics - side by side or one after another depending on the image sizes submitted.

- The following two posts would contain the write up of each team.
EACH WRITE UP MUST NOT EXCEED THE LENGTH OF ONE FORUM POST i.e. 10000 characters! If the write up exceeds the length of one forum post, you'll be asked to submit it again. If it still doesn't fit, the exceeding part will be omitted.
-
Player Profiles must not be a part of the write up! All player profiles are to be posted in the thread. Do not waste your write up word count with them. You can either post them in this thread and post a link in the OP (recommended) or you can post them in the match thread once the match has begun.
-
ALL media (gifs, youtube links, etc, high res images) must be spoilered. This is to make it easier for the first page to load for those with slower internet connections/data limits/etc.
This goes for the entire first page. Second page onwards, you are free to post all the media you want to.

Following is a recommended tactical layout. You are not forced to follow it, you are free to write it in an essay form or however you wish. You can also do both, detail your plan in words as well as add this form for people who want to understand your plan in a glance. You can also opt to add the form and leave any amount of fields blank if you believe you cannot summarize a particular detail in this format. This is an experimental stage of implementing this layout. How it goes:
Team Instructions
Formation : <formation name e.g. 4-4-2 diamond>
Playing Style : <your tactical approach e.g. possession football/counter attacking/park the bus/etc>
Defensive Line : <e.g. Deep/High>
Preferred Zone of Action : <e.g. Out wide/through the middle>
Player Roles
Add every outfield player in your team in the order of defense to attack in the following format:
Player Name - Player Position -
Player Role
e.g. Gerd Muller - Striker -
Poacher
- Be polite, respectful and to the point in the discussions. This is an online game, no need for resorting to any personal insults or mocking no matter how much you disagree with the opposition view point. Focus on the game, not the opponent manager and hopefully we can have a peaceful tournament.
Just formalised things that have been previously discussed and agreed upon!
