    Nope, if you have a pc setup nearby then we can use the PA Ventrillo server, it works nicely whilst playing.

    S-Starwind, have you got a code yet that I can add?

    One more thing. Is there any rule regarding the change of Captain/Sidekicks between games to counter the opponents tactics?

    Good point.

    I'd say it's fine between the home/away sections as both people can do it. But Grinch is God here.

    As a side note is there any difference made by the home/away choice other than the character intros?

    Home team picks captain first. That's why you play everyone twice, home and away. The home guy also sets up the game and chooses the pitch.

    Personally I feel there should be no rule against changing Captain/Sidekicks between games. For a start it's just a bit of fun, ruthless as we all may be, and secondly in a real match (although I'm not overly up on football) there's no harm in changing the team around.

    So I'm fine with Captain switching/changing if everyone else is.

    Yeah, Home guy has advantage of first pick on captain and choice of stage. So if you're better at a certain one go with that ;-)

    Does the KI level effect your chance of scoring a goal? I was playing a few games with Potu with KI level 2, and it seemed like every shot from my hammer brother went straight into the net. Maybe we should set the KI to level 3?

    In other news, I just beat number 41 and number 108 in the rankings, and damn if those weren't the most dramatic matches I have played yet.

    Don't forget that ranks reset every monday, in the first day or two it's more of an indicator of who has played the most (though that's all it is mainly anyway).

    the op says 5 mins. please play 5 min matches, otherwise the "score" value gets unfair in the statistics.

    and yeah, we should set the cpu level. doesnt the op say level 2 ?

    edit:
    - The person hosting (Home team) should set the game CPU to Level 2
    - 3 Points for a win in normal time (in five minutes)

    I just want to say that level 2 is a bit low. The keeper reacts too slow and this gives other players unfair advantages (The chances that hammer bros. shoot goals with charged shots are even higher, Kwak and I just tested). And we just played some 3 minute matches and there were already enough goals.

    Aw man, I just came here to post the result of our first encounter, but because I didn't read the OP carefully enough and insisted on playing 3min matches (just like ranked matches, after all), we have to play the whole series again. Well, I would like to share the results with you anyway just so that you know that I should have been the winner :P
    5 - 0 Potu
    3 - 6 Alfred
    7 - 2 Potu
    4 - 6 Alfred
    3 - 4 Alfred

    edit: we've been playing with KI level set to 3 btw, 2 seemed like it would have been too easy to score a goal.

    Okies, will update op. Being everyone agrees on KI as 3, that's what we'll set it at (I only put it as 2 as I stole the rules off that other forum :) )

    I'm easy on time, that 5 minutes bit slipped in from where I pinched the rules from! Whichever the majority would prefer is fine with me. Being only one set of matches has been played at 3 mins and cpu level 3 would anyone object to setting those as the base rules? It means we can count the games and it's also pretty standard.

    BIG TEXT TO STAND OUT

    Rules updated, please see op! But in summary:

    - Matches set to 3 Minutes
    - CPU Level set to 3
    - I cannot organise a pissup in a brewery

    Apologies for the changes, but they seem for the best :D

    Congrats Alfred! I've updated the op but I'm sure I'll figure out a better way to keep track of results when more come in!

    Just quickly, none of the games went to sudden death did they (you can never tell with the results, just in case someone scores a Super Strike in sudden death etc)? When I posted the results I assumed they didn't.

    I thought it was two single 5 minute matches, one home one away. Is it actually two 3 match series instead?

    From the Op:

    Games should be best of 5

    So they had one game.

    Urgh, trying to organise this makes my head work. Next time I'll actually think through what people will ask and how it'll work, rather than wing it and hope for the best ;)

    Yeah, I thought winning a series would give points, as opposed to every single game in the series. But I get it now. You still up for a game this evening, Grinch?

    Also, I updated my spreadsheet a bit to include the scores of all 120 matches of the group phase. I assume the best one of each group advances into the knock out rounds?
