Post Line-ups Champions League XX - Round 3 - 'Must win match' as the bottom-two collide...

[Dipak]

Don't like that last rule.

Then what shall we do it that case arises in the playoffs

 

[Haarithan]

Omit him for the game , like in Point 3.

 

[Haarithan]

And what about two player clashes in a particular game?
Case 1: Both are overseas to both the franchises.
Case 2: One is local and the other is overseas to one of the two franchises.

 

[Dipak]

Case 1: Both are overseas to both the franchises.

Same as (3). Both the managers can get to a mutual agreement on who could play whom

Case 2: One is local and the other is overseas to one of the two franchises.

The local guy will play for the team from his home country and the overseas guy will sit out

 

[Haarithan]

Imo , I would go for random.org in the first case . Thus , one player can play for the first side and the other for the second side.
As for the second , i would give the local guy to the local franchise and the overseas guy to the other franchise. Making him sit out doesn't look fair to the 2nd(overseas) side.

 

[Dipak]

^Sounds good but I need the views of more managers
Hope the index looks fine now

 

[CG123]

The rules before seem fine, except have the same rules in the playoffs as the groups like Chewie said.

Since it's a double round robin, you could just give the players who don't have a home country to the home team, so both teams will get to use them once?

(implied on me)
Lolz totally forgot that so I'll amend the constitution a bit

 

[Haarithan]

And regarding the pitch types? Home advantage?

 

[Dipak]

3. If the players is eligible for two teams where none of the teams is based on his home country then the team who will play on the allotted homeground will get to play that guy

Eg: If Ryan Harris plays for an SA club and Eng club then and the match is at the SA club's allotted Homeground then the SA club will play that player

4. If the case as in (3) prevails in the playoffs then the the player will sit out unless both the managers co me to a mutual agreement

Better??

 

[Covvy]

So, I'm in this comp now aye? Good news for the other managers cause I never actually win

 

[Haarithan]

Yea looks better now Dipak. Too bad Covvy isn't in my group.

 

[CG123]

Yeah, that looks good.

 

[Haarithan]

So I assume pitch types are allocated using random.org?

I would like to thank Biggy for the player icons, myself (though I used Pranav's style) for the banner, Swirler for the player clash procedures (Case 1-4) and the league managers of all the leagues from which the teams are taking part. Without their co-ordination, such a league wouldn't have been possible
