[Poida_Raider]

haha ok, so hes done it now eh. no problems then i guess!

michael chan is going to get his training for this week!

 

[Mad Dogg]

Hmmm, Ernesto vs West Dubbo never happened. Haven't heard from either yet about why not. :?

I'll update the table and everything tomorrow.

 

[FeezGiggles]

I challenged West Dubbo but he didn't accept and I ended up missing out on a friendly

 

[nibbs]

hopefully we can kick start our lu cup campaign next wednesday. i wanna do better than second last this time. surely it can't be that hard

i saw your challenge on tuesday morning (it was scheduled for his home ground), so i sent you a hattrick mail (to say that the games are to be played on neutral grounds) and issued a friendly at a neutral ground....

 

[chileman]

Does it have to be on neutral ground because I challenged you today amigo at your ground....I thought Mad Dogg said it was just an option if you wanted to play elsewhere!

 

[thewizard1o1]

Oh, one more thing. To avoid one team getting the home advantage, we'll be using the new feature where you can play at someone else's stadium. I haven't used it myself yet, but it should be easy enough to figure out how to do it.

Are we using this or not :? i just got a challenge from the Harriers to play at my home ground :?

Oh i have absolutely no idea mate :? ...it doesn't really bother me either way, so if your happy to go ahead i will accept it.

 

[chileman]

I think Mad Dogg was giving that as an extra option amigo....but I'm happy to play you at your home ground if you are happy with it!

:lol: Would you stop posting the same time as me....sounds like I'm repeating myself or I'm on the turps :alcho: Go easy on me amigo and no bad crowd behaviour at your stadium please

 

[thewizard1o1]

Ok my bad, i'll accept the challenge now and also give my apologies to ernesto for his lost training, i just through that from mad dogg's post it would be used for every game.

 

[thewizard1o1]

i will try to keep the calmed down, but they are high on life at the moment and buggars with matches so you never know

 

[Mad Dogg]

Basically what we want to do is have no team using the home team advantage (basically raises your midfield by a bit). Actually, home team is a bit of a misnomer. Any team from that state will get the advantage.

As such, when two teams from the same state play each other then you can play wherever you like. If you play in that state (could be at one of the two teams' arena or some other neutral arena in that state) then both teams will get the advantage equally. If you play outside of that state then neither team will get it. As most of the teams are probably from NSW, most of the matches fall into this catergory.

It's really only when two teams from different states play each other that it's preffered to play somewhere neutral, so that the result is the fairest one between the two teams. Find a team from some other state and use their arena.

It's not a huge thing so I'm not going to penalise or anything for playing at an arena that favours one team or the other. Bear in mind that this is only a friendly competition, most of us care more about the training it brings than the actual results of the matches. As such, if your opponent challenges you for a match at their home ground and there's not much time to arrange a neutral match, then just accept that challenge. If there's still plenty of time then perhaps counter-challenge them at a neutral ground and HT-Mail them explaining why, but make sure you log on say Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning so that you can accept the original challenge if they haven't come on to accept the counter-challenge.

Hmmm, I hope that isn't too confusing. :? :lol: Just ask if you need some point to be clarified.

As for this weeks games, all have been booked except for Sri Lanka vs Avalon and Ernesto vs my own Wolves.

 

[thewizard1o1]

Sounds good....although i don't think you can counter challenge if they have already challenged you and you haven't accepted or turned down that challenge....might be wrong thou (wouldn't be the first time )

 

[Mad Dogg]

Hmmm, well a team has challenged me and I can still challenge him back if I wanted to. It's possible though that by challenging him I would automatically decline his challenge. I wouldn't think that would be the case, but you never know.

 

[thewizard1o1]

Because thats what i tried to do last week but it just said that a challenge had already been issued. not to worry thou

That's Professor Amigo to you. ;-)

The first two posts in the thread are updated (except the table which will be done a bit later).

The suns may be without a friendly....If the Falcons don't accept

 

[Mad Dogg]

The first two posts have been updated with the results and fixtures (table will be updated tonight or tomorrow).

The suns may be without a friendly....If the Falcons don't accept

Ouch, unlucky.

If your opponent doesn't accept your challenge before Tuesday mid-afternoon, just go out and challenge as many people as you possibly can. Hopefully one of them will accept so you still get training.
