MLS H2H league for "points"

[joe]

This is a cash league. The pigeon trophy was $4.50, I was going to treat the winner to it. I'm not purchasing a Yugoslavian pigeon trophy, that was a joke. Unless, you don't have room on your desk or mantle for such a thing

I'm not going to win, so I vote for the big one.

Cash is king and that is very kind of you Mr. Commish.

I keep losing close matches.......tied for third in the league in points scored, 8th in the league in standings......

I thought you had me this week.

Ok, here's our latest standing. Only movement was at the top. S sbrylski jumped from 4th to 2nd place! Pushing mgarbowski our of the Champions League position. Big matchups this week, including mgarbowski looking for some revenge vs S sbrylski and to move back into the CL position - Let's call it the Ski Derby! Also, we all get to use our unlimited transfers! Don't forget to make them by tomorrow, short turnaround!!!

EDIT: Changed Round 19 fixtures to correct ones.

I think you used the wrong round for the upcoming schedule? It says I play you this week when I log in to the site.

And now for our Pigeon Cup!!!! I just drew the 3 groups from the pots provided. Below are the standings/brackets for the Pigeon Cup. Beneath that is the schedule of what rounds we'll have matches. Remember the winner of the Pigeon Cup gets cash and a CL spot! I think my group is the Group of Death :/

***Under the standings, I wrote out the fixtures in short-hand. When I use 1v4 or 2v3, I'm referring to your original pots that you came from before randomly being put into groups.

EDIT: AND MUCH CREDIT FOR Jack for putting together the 2nd half schedule for us!!!

Doggon it! You're right, I'll edit. Thanks. Maybe not such a juicy matchup now.

Just looking at this. Do you guys think I should move the quarterfinal from Round 28 to Round 24? It avoids the DGRs in Round 28 and having to play coming off a big bye week when teams are trying to reset their rosters. But it also means a month between the quarter and semi finals. Any thoughts?

 

[Jack]

adam I agree to move quarters from round 28. I like quarters to round 24 or move quarters and semis to rounds 29 & 30 and the Cup Championship will be on unlimited transfers round 33 for the grand finale.

Thoughts?

 

[mgarbowski]

I agree to move quarters from crazy weeks and accept however you manage that.

I like the 2nd idea! Rounds 29 & 30 quarters and semis. And then round 33 for the final. So it is written, so it shall be done. I'll adjust the calendar accordingly when I'm by my computer.

 

[adam]

Amended schedule for the Pigeon Cup. Starts next week. Good luck to all!

 

[adam]

S sbrylski we have pretty similar rosters. But the differences end today. I got Morris, Alonso & Drogba (+ a 10 point lead) vs Villa, Harrison, and Valeri. It will be hard to root against you. I guess if you win, the Pigeons probably win, so I'm hedged emotionally this afternoon.

 

[adam]

Just a reminder fixtures for the Pigeon Cup is as follows. I'll manually follow and enter the scores after the week is over, but it will be the same as your regular season score if you want to track it yourself against your cup opponent.

Group 1: Jack v joe & Mario v SoupInNYC

Group 2: JayH v OSNY87 & Sabo v adam

Group 3: mgarbowski v FredMertz Jr. & S sbrylski v FredMertz

Good luck everyone!

 

[adam]

Below are our latest standings. Only movement this week was Sabo & mgarbowski swapping places. But both of them could jump into CL position with 3 points. Also, S sbrylski 's strong run of play has him nipping at the heals of Jack for the top spot and cash prize. Looks like it could get interesting down the stretch. Good luck to all this week and in their hunt for the Pigeon (Bluebird?)!

And after I complained last week about losing close matches, I eek out a 1 point win, haha.

Standing after the last round. Congrats to joe for beating me and moving out of last place for the first time this year.

 

[adam]

Here is what the Pigeon Cup looks like after our first week of play. A few surprises such as joe beating Jack in group 1 and moving into first place in the group. Or S sbrylski finding himself in last place in his group after being so strong in the regular season. This week's matchups are as follows:

Group 1: SoupInNYC v Jack & joe v Mario
Group 2:: JayH v adam & Sabo v OSNY87
Group 3: mgarbowski v FredMertz & S sbrylski v FredMertz Jr.

Good luck everyone!
