FC Dynasty Cup X - Merchiston FC - Champion Topic

Welcome to FC Dynasty Cup X. The Cup IX Champion, Fighting Ants, is in a complete rebuild mode and chose not to defend their title. That means we are guaranteed to have a new Überteam in the FC Dynasty universe. The honor of the pre-tournament #1 seed (always the first listed team in Group A) reverts to the Cup IX Runner-Up and Cup XIII Champion The Shield of the Cow.

The format will remain unchanged since we have the same number of teams - the top two in each Group will advance to the Knockout Stage and the top four seeds will get the coveted 1st Round byes.

The following tournament format and rules will apply.
.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The tournament will be split into multiple stages, a group play followed by knockout rounds. Teams will be eliminated at the end of each stage until a champion is crowned. This champion will lay claim to glory and shall have bragging rights over all teams in all worlds for a very short period of time.

Group Stage
Each team is initially assigned to a group. Group play will consist of a round robin, with each team playing home and away against the other teams within their group. Points will be based on the following - 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss.

The top two teams in points out of each group will advance to the Knockout Stage with tiebreakers being decided in the following order - goal differential, then away goals and lastly goals scored. If the teams are still tied, a coin flip using random.org's random number service will determine who advances.


Knockout Stage
Each round will be a home/away set with the winner being based on aggregate goals. If aggregate goals are tied, the higher seed will host the lower seed in an additional game. If that game is tied, the lower seed will then host the higher seed and so on. As long as both coaches are scheduling games, the round will continue until one side wins outright. If one team fails to schedule for three consecutive days, that team will forfeit the round and the other team will advance.

Seeding for the knockout rounds will be determined in the following order. The six group winners will automatically get the top six seeds and the six 2nd place finishers will be seeded 7-12. The top four seeds will get a 1st Round bye and will begin knockout play in the quarterfinals.

The 1st Round will consist of the following:

#5 seed vs #12 seed
#6 seed vs #11 seed
#7 seed vs #10 seed
#8 seed vs #9 seed

The quarterfinals will consist of the following:

#1 seed vs winner of #8/#9 match-up
#2 seed vs winner of #7/#10 match-up
#3 seed vs winner of #6/#11 match-up
#4 seed vs winner of #5/#12 match-up


The semifinals will consist of the following:

#1 seed quarterfinals match-up vs #4 seed quarterfinals match-up
#2 seed quarterfinals match-up vs #3 seed quarterfinals match-up

Championship Round
The Championship Round will match the two remaining teams in a home and away series with the winner being based on aggregate goals. If an aggregate goal tie occurs, the host of the additional game will be decided by a coin flip using random.org's random number service. The Championship Round is the only round not subject to a set time frame. Scheduling is open-ended and tiebreakers are unlimited until a Champion has proven their worth on the field.

TOURNAMENT RULES
Each stage of the tournament, other than the Championship, will have a specific time frame in which all games must be scheduled. Failure to schedule games within the allotted time frame will result in a forfeiture. On the evening of the last day for each stage, all games that have not been scheduled will be deemed a 0-0 draw so that the stage can be completed. The team failing to issue (or accept) a challenge will be awarded no points for the drawn game. Any team with more than one forfeiture will be withdrawn from the tournament and cannot advance.

Entering the final 72 hours of each stage's time frame, any team that has not received a challenge by an opponent (or has sent a challenge that has not been accepted) should post a request to the other coach here or, if the coach does not have posting rights, via sitemail to gomiami1972, who will post the request on your behalf in this forum thread. I would prefer, if you do not have posting rights, to send any requests through me rather than sitemailing each other. That will cut down on the volume of mail being shipped about.


If you receive a challenge in the same slot you have sent a challenge, please accept the incoming challenge and re-issue your own. If you receive multiple challenges in the same slot, choose one ASAP to give the team you declined as much time as possible to issue a new request.

Time Frame to Schedule Group Stage Games - October 21st thru November 2nd (Challenges must be sent/accepted by 7pm on the 2nd. This does not mean the games must be played by the 2nd.)
Time Frame to Schedule 1st Round Games - November 7th thru November 15th (Challenges must be sent/accepted by 7pm on the 15th. This does not mean the games must be played by the 15th.)
Time Frame to Schedule Quarterfinal Games - November 13th thru November 22nd (Challenges must be sent/accepted by 7pm on the 22nd. This does not mean the games must be played by the 22nd.)
Time Frame to Schedule Semifinal Games - November 23rd thru November 30th (Challenges must be sent/accepted by 7pm on the 30th. This does not mean the games must be played by the 30th.)

Best of luck to all of the participants in their quest for the ultimate prize - The FC Dynasty Cup!

Merchiston FC and colinhtucker stamp their names into the history book and win FC Dynasty Cup X on their home field as they beat, by the slimmist of margins, Rushmore FC and by a 5-4 aggregate. The final game had the series tied at 2-2 and Rushmore drew first blood when MacGowan Treacy knuckled a ball into the net off the side of his foot to give his side the lead. The Rushmore lead swelled to 2 goals when Elder Szetela scored his third goal of the Finals in the 31st minute and it looked like Rushmore was well on its way to claiming a 2nd FC Dynasty Cup.

That's wehn Merchiston's 44 year old Dutch midfielder, Giovanni Léonard, pinballed a shot off the Rushmore goalie, the left post and then into the back of the net right before halftime, cutting the lead down to one goal and changing the momentum of the game. Merchiston came out firing to open the 2nd half when Brazilian forward Blanco Amaro, trying to help his team and himself with top scoring honors, controlled a crossing pass outside the box with beautiful skill and fired a missle past a helpless Sebastian Gazzola to tie the game 2-2 and the aggregate 4-4. That set up the final heroics, once again by Léonard, who beat the offside trap, did a little nutmeg on the central defense and scored an unassisted goal from point blank range, a goal that proved to be the Championship winning goal .

Congratulations to Rushmore FC and bert_fischer for the Runner Up trophy. The L'Orteil D'or award goes to The Shield of the Cow striker Halbert Labazares, the 2nd straight Golden Toe won by the Cow, who finished with 12 goals, one goal clear of Blanco Amaro, who scored once but fell just short with 11 goals. Without further ado, the hardware will now be distributed to their rightful owners.

Championship Extra Game Coin Flip (if necessary)

For the coin flip, Merchiston FC was heads (the Portuguese Coat of Arms above a knot) and Rushmore FC was tails (5 Escudos.) This was decided by M being alphabetically before R.
.

You flipped 20 coins of type Portuguese 5 Escudos:

Timestamp: 2022-12-02 02:09:54 UTC

Tails wins 11-9, so the first tiebreaker game will be a Rushmore FC home game.

If you guys see any mis-spellings, please point them out. A lot of teams have similar names but every user ID is unique. The easiest way to make sure you are challenging the correct team is to copy/paste the user ID...assuming it is spelled correctly!
10/19/2022 9:38 AM
I declare the Games of the 10th FC Dynasty Cup are now open.

The Group Stage is now underway so feel free to start scheduling. The time frame for Group games to be scheduled is October 21st thru November 2nd. You'll play a home and away against each opponent, so you'll be sending and receiving a challenge with each team in your group.

Here's a good rule of thumb - If you receive an incoming challenge in the same slot you have sent an outgoing challenge, please accept the incoming challenge and re-issue your own. If you receive multiple incoming challenges in the same slot, choose one ASAP to give the team you auto-declined as much time as possible to issue a new request.

Spread your outgoing challenges out. There are 12 days in the Group State to schedule. Slot 10 is as good as Slot 1. If everybody uses slots 1, 2 and 3, there will be a traffic jam.

Make sure you are challenging the correct team. I have verified that each User ID is spelled correctly. You can always copy/paste the user ID from the participating teams list. There might be several teams with similar names but every ID is unique.

OK, everyone. It's time to lace up your cleats and go to battle. Good luck and show no mercy - goal differential is a tiebreaker.
10/20/2022 4:50 PM
Made one final Group swap at 5;30PM (about 20 minutes after I made the tournament official.) The World 92 teams are everywhere, lol. butterflies and La Daga will be in the same group. I couldn't make the seeding work any other way and avoid duplicate matchups from the last Cup.
10/20/2022 5:33 PM (edited)
A sitemail has been sent to everyone announcing the beginning of the tournament. It'll probably be the only sitemail I send out, so don't expect a bunch of spam from me in your inbox.
10/21/2022 9:05 AM
Feel free to use this forum thread to post comments about the tourney, talk a little smack, etc. If you want to post but don't have posting rights, you can send me a sitemail and I'll post it for you.

Finally, if there is anything you want me to know but would rather keep it on the down-low (you have an issue with whatever) don't hesitate to sitemail me. What you say will remain confidential and I'm always open to criticism and/or suggestions. The Cup can only evolve through input.
10/21/2022 10:37 AM
As usual, the first 24 hours has seen a massive scheduling push, with 42 Group Stage games out of the 72 total already on the docket, which far exceeds Cup IX's first day total...so thank you. It makes my job easier.

The tournament will see its first live action tomorrow (the 23rd) when VB Hibernian hosts Swampdragons out of Group A and, out of Group F, black mambas locks horns at home against Futbol Club Oviedo. Both are in the 7pm time slot.

The other contests stretch out through November 1st. Remember, games must be scheduled by the 2nd not necessarily played by the 2nd. If your world is flipping, you have a little flexibility to schedule so no pressure.
