Post Line-ups Champions League XX - Round 1 - It's time to give the people what they need, not what they want...

What about the playoffs?? The first side reaches the finale and the second and third placed sides have to fight in a semi final, right??

 

[Gaurav_7]

Yeah, table topper should directly be in the finale with 2nd and 3rd placed teams playing a semi.

Exactly. The table toppers automatically qualify for the final while the 2nd & 3rd placed sides battle it out in the Preliminary Final. Obviously, the 1st team gets to pick the pitch for the final while the 2nd placed team gets similar rights for the preliminary final.

 

[Dipak]

Fine then, I'll start the work on the index now. Please don't look at it is it will look disastrous until it's complete

 

[Prats]

Looks like this is gonna be a short but sweet tournament. Will be following this since, my league's team is here.

 

[RPHKR]

my league's team is here

It's cause you've got a manager like me

 

[Prats]

It's cause you've got a manager like me

Obviously

 

[Dipak]

I reckon we'll have a qualifier and now I have some support in the name of BKB, Riz and Puneet

 

[Gaurav_7]

Tbh, a six team competition with only champions seems alright. But, if you want more two teams to qualify from ?, then I don't have any problems.

 

[CG123]

If I lose the EPL final then we should have a qualify, but if I win it then we shouldn't.

 

[Haarithan]

NO TO QUALIFIERS PLEASE. I'm saying this despite Liverpool already being in the final of the EPL. And there are more people against it tbh.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Any provision for guest overseas players for Bandits?

 

[Dipak]

Any provision for guest overseas players for Bandits?

No.

The other managers will object

 

[Dipak]

I just realized the qualifier would mean less work for me. Would save me from making 6 more teams.

I'll just put up a poll and majority wins
