thewools

Hi All,

This thread will be the main thread for banter etc.

All of the gloating, whinging and moaning can be posted here to avoid all the clutter and nonsense posted in the other threads.

Fixtures, Results and League Tables are to be posted in each relevant league thread.

Full Rules will be posted below.

Enjoy the league!

INTRODUCTION:

The league is run by thewools (thewools) and will do my best to co-ordinate and organise the fixtures and results. Any queries / problems should be sent by pm to me.

OUTLINE:

For the new season the league is divided into 3 separate divisions and is organised and run by

Premiership

Championship

League 1

TEAM SELECTION:

The league contains 3 divisions each with unique teams. Before the season begins promotions and relegations will take place. For the team selection process you are required to pick a European club team.

LEAGUE FORMAT:

Each team will play each other team twice. Each game consists of 2 x 6 minute halves. The fixtures will be posted at the start of the season and the fixtures will be divided into a number of gameweeks. Currently, there are usually 3 fixtures per week (depending on amount of players in league). Players must ensure that they complete their fixture list by the end of the gameweek. You may contact opponents via Boards or on PSN.

At the end of each game, make a note of the result and post them in the Results thread. These results will be added to the main result post and league tables will be updated on a regular basis. You may not play games in advance of the gameweek they belong unless given permission by the co-ordinator(s), if you do so they will be void.

END OF SEASON:

At the end of every season, there will be promotion's and relegation's. Games unplayed at the end of the season will be void however both players are expected to make an effort to play their fixtures. If a player is found to be avoiding playing their fixtures or not responding to messages and invites during the season action will be taken against them by the co-ordinator(s).

RULES:

In order to maintain the league, a number of rules have been laid out. Any violations of this code of conduct can be sent to the league co-ordinators and each issue will be investigated.

1) Disconnections
No player is allowed to intentionally disconnect for any reason. Any disconnections during a league game must be made known to the league co-ordinators. However, accidental disconnections do occur and the rules have been written to take this into account. If a player disconnects while they are winning, a rematch is immediately scheduled. However, if a player disconnects while drawing or losing the game, a walkover is awarded to the other player. Each player is responsible for their own connection. These rules are final and the cause of the disconnect is irrelevant once it occurs, no exceptions will be given so do not contact players directly looking for a rematch.

1.1) Problems Connecting To Opponent
If you can’t connect to another player the first thing to do is check your NAT settings. NAT type 1 or 2 is desired to allow players to connect easily. If anyone is having difficulties with their network connection; please post here and we will attempt to the best of our capabilities to help resolve the issue.

2) Last Man Tackling
Fifa 11 is a soccer simulation and while slide tackling is encouraged when needed, intentional attempts to take out the last man (an attacking player that only has the keeper to beat) will not be tolerated. A defender is allowed to slide in from the side as there is a good chance that he will win the ball. However, when someone slides in from directly behind (from the 5-7 O'clock positions) and the striker is between the defender and the ball, this will not be tolerated. Players like this can usually be indentified by a low foul:card ratio.

3) Settings & Custom Formations
Custom formations are a part of football, while some people don't like playing against custom formations, there is no rule forbidding using them.

4) Holidays
If a player is going away on holidays and unable to play their fixtures for a short period then they must contact the co-ordinators in advance and let them know. They will post on the fixtures thread a note to allow that player to play the games for the weeks he is away in advance. Only those fixtures can be played in advance and any others will be void if played.

5) Unplayed fixtures
Due to the amount of unplayed fixtures in previous seasons there is a rule to make sure people make an effort to play their games. Each week we will be monitoring people's progress, below is a list of how many games have to be played after a certain number of fixtures are released. Failure to meet these requirements will result in a point deduction for each outstanding game.

End of Week 2 a minimum of 4 games must be played

End of Week 4 a minimum of 8 games must be played

End of Week 4 anyone with less than half their games played will be kicked from the league and all games played/unplayed will be awarded as a 3-0 walkover to their opponents

End of Week 6 a minimum of 12 games must be played

End of Week 8 a minimum of 16 games must be played

End of Week 8 anyone with less than half their games played will be kicked from the league and all games played/unplayed will be awarded as a 3-0 walkover to their opponents

Every player is responsible for their own fixtures and getting them played. Best practice is to contact them with an PSN message and/or a PM on boards.ie

If you find a player is not responding to your messages about organising fixtures then contact the co-ordinator(s).

6) People Quitting Mid Season
Due to various reasons we have players who sometimes are unable to complete the league season. In the case of these players all fixtures they have will be awarded a walkover to their opponent. Any games played previously will also be given as a walkover to their opponent. If a player quits they are automatically placed at the bottom of the table and will take one of the relegation places at the end of the season. This allows us to keep a group of players in each league who are dedicated to playing their games and making the season enjoyable for everyone involved.

Bayern are a bit meh... But they will do! Going for 4 in a row now so I am!! Think my luck will end this season though...

League Cup will be a feature this season; however this won't start until later on in the season.

Would you get out of it! They're a quality side, very well balanced with nice pace as well. I was considering them and I was amongst the first picks, but convinced myself that I would need as strong a team as possible since I'm in this league and I am by far the most inexperienced FIFA player here (I'd imagine).

We'll see how things pan out though.

First time Playing in a Boards league but im looking forward to this..

I had second pick, but i picked the wrong team...Should be fun..Ill sign up to the league this afternoon when i get home..

Frisbee

Sure I still feel dirty for picking Chelsea. Arsenal, Atletico and Juve are my favourite teams to play with but I figured the standard in the league would be high enough and as I'm a pretty mediocre FIFA player tbh I reckoned I needed as strong a team as possible.

thewools

Guys, please use this thread ONLY for arranging games, banter etc.

I cannot delete posts on the other threads; so to avoid all the clutter on the Fixtures / Results / Leagues Pages please use this thread!

Post results on the respective thread.

If you mean in team selection, I'm with you there :pac: Was hoping for a star restriction in the league but sure ya can't have anything .

Haven't checked out my team out yet, Atletico but surely their stats have improved after last season so all is well. I really have to have a few matches with them before I play in the league. Will do it tonight.

League Cup sounds like a great idea btw

Mr Alves, if you'd like to play our first game this evening around 6 I'll be on then.

Think Atletico are pretty decent in it to be honest, looking at the XBOX thread a few lads picked Zenit too - maybe we all know something noone else does...? :pac:

Real Madrid - 4real
AC Milan - Rackstar
Arsenal - CapRooney

Krusader

This is why I picked Arsenal in the 360 league. I normally take on Real and Chelsea with Atletico but the Atletico defense isn't great. A lot better than last year but still not good enough to deal with Drogba and Ronaldo in the hands of a good player. I would have preferred a 4 star team limit tbh. How do you set up Arsenal btw? there's just so many options...
