Matches Posted Champions League XX - Round 1 - Triangle Tigers vs Multan Sultans - Just needed a few more runs on the board...

[Haarithan]

Okay, it will be me then... AT has given me the green signal too.

Champions League 7

NZPL - Wellington Wolves (Sartaj)
EPL - Nottingham Outlaws (Sartaj)
ZPL - Mountaineers (Muhaiminul)
SLPL - Ruhuna Rhinos (Zohaib)
APL - Sydney Stallions (Callum)
CPL - Antigua & Barbuda (Callum)

Managers can confirm their participation now. Double team's managers can give their first preference team, though I don't really mind a manager managing two clubs. However, if he has hired a caretaker manager for his second club, then he can post it right here.

Lastly, can one of the staffies transfer the thread to my name?

 

[Sartaj]

Wellington is the preferred team but I'd really like to manage them both.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Sartaj, if you don't mind, can I manage one?

 

[Aussie Team]

CG - A&B for me, please.

 

[Sartaj]

Hmmmmmm.............................ok.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Not forcing it on you. If you want to manage both, you can. No real worries.

 

[CG123]

CG - A&B for me, please.

Dipak wants to as well.

Hmmm, what about I just manage both, but I take advice from you guys?

 

[Haarithan]

Regarding the tournament's fixtures, which one sounds better? 17/32 game tournament? The first case arises when each team verses all the other sides 'once', while the second case when it verses the other sides 'twice'.

Host nation is most likely to be India, given it has no teams participating for this edition. I feel its better to have a neutral venue, so went for India.

 

[Sartaj]

So,no group division this time?
I'll support the 17 games format.

 

[CG123]

Like I said via VM I'd probably prefer 17 games. Don't really want it to drag on too much, because both of my teams have their respective league's seasons starting soon.

Not much point on groups bcvs with just six teams.

 

[Sartaj]

Yeah,didn't notice that there are only 6 teams.

 

[Haarithan]

First post updated with the fixtures and the squads.
One warmup round enough? Feel free to get one more if you want to.
Will sort out the player clashes followed by the player databases, after which we're all set to start.

 

[Prats]

So Finally, CL7 ready to start.

All the best Haarithan. I'll be following this.

Player Clashes - Solution (Credit to Swirler)​

1. Two teams have the same player in their squads, who is local to one of the sides.

The player is given to the local side and the other side plays without him.

2. Two teams have the same player in their squads, who isn't local to either side.

The player is removed from the match and each team picks from the remaining 17 players in their squads.

3. Two teams have two players in common and neither of them have a local team.

I'll randomly pick a team for both the players to play by using Random.org.

4. Two teams have two players in common, but this time one of them has a local team.

That player will obviously join his local team, and the other player will join the other team.

Sartaj, can I please manage Nottingham
