We had an awesome structure last time http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19...m-pool-787745/

Looks like we have enough interest in the 8 random person pool here is how it will work.
You will get 0.5 a point for each tie in the group stage
You will get 2 points for each win in the group stage.
You will get 4 points for a win in the round of 16
You will get 6 points for a win in the round of 8
You will get 8 points for a win in the semifinals
You will get 10 points for a win in the finals
You will get 6 points if you win the third place game.

Once we get the exact number of runners (lets say 20) someone will generate a 20 strings of 8 numbers.

Someone else will pick a number for 1-26 that will determine what above numbers correspond to by team.

Someone else will pick a number 1-26 that will determine which posters get each random sequence.

I will post everyones roster in an uneditable google docs spreadsheet.

First place gets 80% last place gets 20%.

8 teams makes for lot of sweats and make sure you some decent teams, but could obvs draw 7 totally random and 1 top 6 team for everyone for example so people dont feel drawing dead from the start.

I'm setting up a 10 max 2k$ random league. With rules from my last post. 6 spots left. Look at my Twitter for details.

I'm also in for other random leagues.

urubu everyone draws 8 random teams out of the 32 (draws from a string from 1-32 not 26). Then a point system (that reward later stages more) decide the winner. This way everyone gets lots of sweats.

Everyone can only get the same team once, but more then one person can draw the same teams. Actually in theory, two persons can draw the same 8 teams.

The 1-26 is letters in the English alphabet, so its to determine the order of the countries and entrants. 1 = A 2 = B etc

Number 1 what letter the countries will be listed by alphabetically.,
Number 2 will determine what letter the posters will be listed by alphabetically.

Edit: Eg is the first number is 4
Country 1 will be Denmark, Country #2 England etc.

In aswell for fantasy and random

Wouldn't it be fun to do a draft with 32 people and everybody just get one? Winner takes it all?

That makes like 4 people have a nice sweat and 28 people be frustrated for losing their buyin immediately.

So has the blopp challenge taken over all the action or can we still manage to get a 500$ random thingy going?

I think it should def be room for a 500$ if anyone bothers to organize and update it.

I'm in for that one as well.
