We could definitely do this! My only concern is that teams would lose interest as the matches drew on if they were towards the middle or bottom of the group. Maybe going with the final being 1st and and 2nd place would help alleviate add some of the intrigue? Although, I suppose that is also just part of life for a young teams of youths and any success is seen as positive.

I'm happy to go this route if most would like to!

All of us in the same group appeals to me. Most of us are building a new team from scratch using youth players so will be a good marker to see how our teams are developing and strength and weaknesses against similar opposition so i dont think you need to worry about teams losing interest in my opinion.

I am happy to proceed with the one group and my interest will be kept alive in my attempt to finish above Motherwell

Perhaps you could introduce a play-off at the top of the table.

Top of the table reaches the play off final.
Second place meets third place at home in a one leg semi final.
The top of the league team then meets the winner of the semi final at home in the final.

This way there is some reward for finishing in the top two and it will also hopefully keep interest alive for the mid table teams trying to sneak into the top three to take on one of the big guns in the play offs.

and we should start as soon as possibe

_________________

Fatih, since you already put in the effort to add the teams into the scheduler let's just roll with that! Since no additional teams have joined we should be all set except for the dates. If you pm me the admin panel address I will gladly add those! Thanks for your work finding that site and setting us up!

I really like Alan's idea with the finals too. The semi final with #3 @ #2 will be on May 26th (same as FG cup semi) and the final of #2/#3 @ #1 will be on June 2nd (same as FG cup). Starting the first match this Sunday March 20th we will have to take both the 6th FG cup round and 1/4 Final round for match days as well.

Ranking table:



Fixture: http://tournamentscheduler.net/schedule/MjczOTk2MDQxMQ

_________________

I usually roll with the 20th to give teams time to sign up but still have time to reg the first match. Looking at the fixtures, 4 of our teams already have matches scheduled for Saturday (not counting Motherwell and Cobreloa who are scheduled with each other). Since so many teams would have to cancel to before trying to reg, let's stick with the 20th so we aren't trying to make up too much ground.

Vitesse and Iraklis both already have matches scheduled for the 20th as well. I will leave those results blank on Sunday so hopefully the matches can be made up on a cup date (5th round or earlier). If they aren't able to be made up they will end up 3-0 for the opponent.

9 teams gives us 9 rounds, so the dates will be: 3/20, 3/27, 4/10, 4/24, 4/28, 5/5 (6th Cup Rnd), 5/8, 5/12, 5/19 (Cup Quarter Final). Semi on 5/26 (one week to schedule), Final on 6/2 (one week to schedule).

Last note, on the schedule Home and Away isn't specifically shown. I think it is reasonable to assume that Home is on the left and Away is on the right. However, if you schedule and play it differently it will stand just the same.

I hope that all makes sense! Excited for the matches to start and I am really starting to miss having a youth team to participate!

I love this new format! Previously it was awkward juggling the final matches with time to actually get them registered. Having a week between matches at the end is perfect.

Also, I added the match dates to the top of the notes on the schedules.

Or you know, Iraklis has a BYE that day so they scheduled a friendly in that space. Oops!

Fatih, using your post I figured out how to embed the table on here but I put it in a new thread to make it easier to find/access.
