Official thread to track the draft process and the scores through out the tournament.

The game is simple, pick players to score goals/assists over the course of the World Cup 2018 football tournament while not getting themselves yellow/red cards.

SCORING SYSTEM

Open play goals (including direct freekicks): 5 points
Assists (as per official website): 3 points
Penalty goals (not including shootouts): 2 points
Yellow cards: -1 point
Red Cards: -5 points
Scoring in a shootout: 3 points
Missing in a shootout: -5 point

Draft is run in an ABBABABA format.

Additional rules (I might add to this as we go to avoid confusion):

1) In the event of a points draw between entries, the tiebreaker is the team that scored the most 5 point goals. If that is also level, the individual player within a team who scored the most goals would be champion.

2) The most indiscipline a player can have per game is 5 points. So whether you get sent off through a straight red, a yellow than a red, or two yellows (which means a red) you can only lose 5 points that way

3) If you pick a player that doesn't make the squad/is injured and withdraws before his teams first game, they can be replaced from a list of undrafted players that I will draw up after the draft.

Thank you

I planned this for 10 people max, sorry Ash

In. Sending tmr. When do we start?

Excel Sheet

Don't mind the formating on the second page. I had it prepared for 8 people and then I ****ed up when adding 2 more, but everything is working as planned.

I will update it constantly as games progress. I have a lot of time in my hands even when at the office so it's ok.
If anyone wants editting privileges just let me know.

Yippie, Cina, TP, Andre and Falcon have paid - 5 left.

I suppose that by tomorrow everything will be sorted so I want to say:
Start time: 08/06/2018 by 2.00 PM GMT+1 aka British Summer Time.

Sounds good?

That's in two and a half hours, do you mean that time tomorrow?

Lol sorry. Yes, that's what I meant. Already edited.

Also, we are now closed at 10 participants, so:

Winner: 60%
Runner-Up: 25%
3rd place: 15%

Cool. Will we know draft order before hand or will we only know as at tommorrow 2pm

I swear on the tournament performance of Portugal that I did not bribe KW

We start tomorrow at 2.00 pm

GL.

6th I'll take that. Didn't want the 1 spot as I'd have to take undrafted despite not wanting undrafted

I have no idea what I'm doing.

So it's 8 rounds, with no limitations of any sorts on the picks?
