Following the pulsating Strongball tournament we had last year, which was won by the extraordinarily tall and handsome Witsel, I decided to attempt to organise a second edition in order that I (or anyone else who played in the previous tournament) might exact their revenge; or of course anyone else who wants to try their hand at playing this fiendish map.
I'll want at least 8 players to participate in order to run this competition, though I won't impose any limit to the number of entrants (within reason)
Full details are as follows:
Date: 27th October 2014
Location: FM Teamspeak Funcups channel
Time: 19:00 GMT / 20:00 CET
Map: 1v1 Strongball (http://haxmaps.com/map/1001)
Format: Group matches 2x3 minutes; Knockout matches 2x5 minutes. For the group format there will be no strict match order with players playing concurrently, all players should be prepared to have time to play at least 3 group matches.
Group stage format: Will be slightly different and table points will be awarded in a manner similar to the Rugby Union World Cup in order to promote positive and attacking play (or at least less hogging the ball whilst you're in your own half).
Winning a match: 4 points
Drawing a match: 2 points
Losing a match by a single goal: 1 point
Losing a match by more than one goal: 0 points
Scoring ten or more goals in a match: 1 bonus point
I'll continue to advertise this in the FM teamspeak (188.226.252.130) main chat, POST here if you're interested and intend to participate so I can get an early idea of numbers. Hope to see you all there and have fun!
