Ah, quite right, Nogrod. I should explain the set up.

There will be eight groups of four teams. Each team will play the other three teams in their group. A win is worth 3 points, a tie is worth 1. After the games are finished, the two teams from each group with the highest point total advances into the playoffs (so that would put 16 teams in the playoffs).

If two teams have the same number points the team with the best goal differential gets the nod. If they have the same differential the team who scored the highest number of goals gets the nod.

The playoffs will be the standard winner-advance-loser-go-home set up.

Oh, and players will not sit games (because I can't have backups for everyone). Someone can be sent out of a game for a penalty and leave their team a player short for the remainder of the game, but no one will ever be benched for an entire game.

The fantasy league rules will be posted on a separate thread.

In the meantime, vote for the remaining roster spots, and spread the word about this tournament. Put links in your sigs if you want. The more people we have the more fun it will be.

I might be able to post the groupings tomorrow afternoon. If not then you can count on seeing them sometime before I go to bed on Sunday.
