Subject: NY State Championship II.

when will the matchups be posted?

Next Wednesday evening. It is quite likely we will play in 2 groups of 4 teams. Now it is time to arrange the friendly.

i can join if needed

That would be nice. It is up to you - we can play the tournament with any amount of teams. Say Yes or No before Wednesday.

i can join if needed

Let's put it this way - it will be for the benefit of the tournament if another strong team joins in.

If it's more than 8 teams - we will play the preliminary round on 1/20/10 and then the elimination round 2 groups of four teams following 3 weeks.

The seeding will be based on the individual average note of the last 5 Wednesday matches (including your next match). It seems to be more fair than the current ranking as we obviously play on Wednesdays.

I will post the pot division around 8PM on Wednesday and around 9 PM we will start the draw.

The deadline for setting the match is Sunday/Monday midnight Sokker time. Walkover might apply.
(edited)

The preliminary match is not set so there is a walkover. It might be a double walkover since besides meaningless short messages I have not received any explanation from both of the managers.
Both of you please post here if you tried to arrange the friendly with your opponent.

NY State - Group A is ready.

nyU sent the invitation to Los Demonios Del Platanse. If LDDP does not confirm by the evening time nyU will go through.
