This will be the final FC Dynasty Cup XII post, officially ending the tournament. Feel free to continue posting tournament comments here on this thread or sitemail me with comments that I can post on your behalf. Congratulations again to jmjtrain and FC Kingston, the new Überteam for the next couple of months. I'll get on updating the Record Book by this weekend.
I hope everyone enjoyed the competition. With 32 teams from 17 participating worlds (17 worlds!,) the Cup once again went smoothly and without drama - other than what happened on the pitch. There were 129 games in a tournament that lasted two months from signups to completion...that it thrives is amazing. I know I say this every time but the tournament is successful because you guys put in the effort. I'm just the coordinator.
Based on the way the calendar looks, the sign-up phase for FC Dynasty Cup XIII will begin in mid October with the Group Stage before Halloween. I may ask, voluntarily, for a copy of your roster next time so that I can get a better handle of team quality for Group Stage balance. It won't be a requirement but any info I can get would be helpful. We'll cross that bridge in October. In the meantime, enjoy your individual worlds and please pass the word to fellow FC Dynasty coaches.
Gentlemen, until next time, when a new set of teams spanning the FC Dynasty universe will get together to contest for the ultimate prize - the FC Dynasty Cup!
Signing out.
Jay
