EUROPEAN REGION TABLES/FIXTURES/RESULTS (Xbox360 & PS3)

LEAGUE CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST & POOR FIXTURE FULFILMENT - 31/10/11

*** NOTE 30-09-11 ***
As there have been no week 3 games played this week and there are still quite a few Week 2 fixtures to be played in both leagues, I'm going to slide the fixtures back a week meaning that this is still Fixtures Week 2 and next week will become Fixtures Week 3.

Fixtures Week 2 (now) to be played between 26th Sept - 2nd Oct

Fixtures Week 3 (next week) to be played between 3rd Oct - 9th Oct


All Xbox360 tables, fixtures & results have been updated following the cull of unresponsive players at the end of week 2.

All PS3 tables, fixtures & results have been updated following the cull of unresponsive players at the end of week 2 - the new set of fixtures for the previously unplayable Week 2 has been put up aswell.

*** Added a Losing Bonus Point column to both tables to seperate what bonus point tries have been awarded and better show who is able to keep their matches games close. ***

Yep

Also im not a hundred percent what the rules are, 10 mins half or 5 mins half?

5 minute halves, random wind and random weather

And do we play 2 matches, One match i host, one match he hosts?

Yep - unless you agree between you, for whatever reason, that one player can host both matches


*** I've updated the first post to include the answers to all your questions from the get go, cheers.

 

[Getofmeland]

I am going to be away for 2 and half weeks in October, so how do I get on about re-arranging those games?

I'd say the best solution is just to contact in advance the 2 or 3 opponents that you are likely to miss the fixtures against and reschedule them to be played before or after your absence, in another fixture week.
The onus is obviously going to be on you to be as accommodating as possible to suit times with your opponent when you're rescheduling.

Where an agreement can't be made, we'll look at each individual case and see about providing a match result, possibly a score draw (2pts each) and move on from there.

Whether you play the game in advance of or after the assigned fixture week, just post the result as normal but identifying it as rescheduled and what week it would normally have been played in and I'll update the table where necessary.


Cheers,

[Thingimubob]

Messaged CRGamingEmpire both on here and on Xbox Live, no reply yet but plenty of time Having a bit of trouble with my Live connection though, doesn't seem to let me connect if my laptop is connected to the network too. Anybody know if opening ports will help this, or if plugging it directly into the modem would (that's my last resort atm)

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Could people please post wether you are playing on X-BOX or PS3 it would make mine and Thingimubobs job of doing the rankings a whole lot easier.
I'm sure it'll help Raziel and C A as well.

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry don't know why that was posted twice, please delete this.

Cool guys, glad to people are getting into the swing of things with a few good games and close results showing through.

Personally I've had no response yet from my opponent, either via PM's here or over Xbox Live messages - how has everyone else found contacting their opponents been?

I have a suspicion that we will see 2 scenarios develop in terms of being unable to contact or get a response from opponents:

1. After the initial feelers were put out about the competition and people showed their interest, the forum went quiet until the game was released and details were finalised and then we sprung the first week of gameplay public pretty quickly. Some of those initially interested may just not have checked back so far, thinking that things would still be as quiet as before.

2. There will be an inevitable situation where some people do not join up to take their place in the leagues as they have something better to do, have changed their mind, are too busy or just plain old RL is getting in the way. This happens and should be expected, but it doesn't help those with no fixture to play when they thought they would have. A fixture list with lot of blank weeks is not enjoyable for all.

So, if there is a feeling that some people are finding it tough getting their opponents to communicate back to arrange an initial fixture, I'd be happy to postpone these initial matches for a few weeks (until Week 3 or so?) with the hope that they could be caught up on as quickly as possible.
If still no communication is coming back from your expected opponent by the the end of week 3 I would think we need to consider bumping them from the leagues and I'd do a fixture rejig to keep the fixtures compact with as many playable matches as possible.

An idea might be for any "no communication" occurrences to be reported on the last night of each fixture week (Sunday) so I can keep a record of who might be likely to have to be bumped off.

Thoughts from all are welcomed.
