Bandwidth issues.

Also, whats to stop a site from changing the image but keeping the url the same .

Its more the second one as 'unfortunately' some hotlinked images end up being swapped to things of an adult nature...

Ok. We need one more.

 

[jojothemonkey69]

Will everybody be given a different team so we don't end up with 3 Man Utd's and a Barcelona don't end up in the semi's or something similar?

Yes. Randomly assigned 4 star teams is what is going to happen.

 

[jojothemonkey69]

Cool sounds good to me. When are we getting started?

Myself i would prefer it all to be 1 star teams - as we've done 4 star teams in the past and it became clear that certain teams have advantages - its not as bad as the "man utd" factor in 5 star teams though.

Also here is an idea given that attendance is sometimes a problem for cups

why not - for the quarter finals onwards. All quarter finalists come on at the same time - setup a chatroom (text) for all the players for e.g. 8pm and everyone plays their QF matches and even Semi Final or Final matches in that one evening ?

Is it possible to view the matches? I seem to remember an option like this in fifa. I'm probably wrong i know

 

[CliffyBiro]

You're bound to be able to set up a mini-league. Would be much better.

 

[Surfer]

also seeing as its groups to start - so seeding for this stage? e.g. top 8 or 10 seeds dont meet in the groups.

Seeding worked out via results of last cup and also remember that league thing we had going. If its the top 2 in each group that goes to the QF stage thats very tough lol even for a a good player nm someone like me
