Football Europe Prediction Game (FEPG) - Season 32 updated

Post by Affo »

Just a primary post to confirm that Season 32 will be happening :grin1: and details will appear here.

Confirmed Schedule:

Image
Past players, current players and new players are all welcome to join the 1st Ranking week to be used for some seeding and getting an idea of numbers.

THERE IS 1 FIXTURE THIS WEEK:

The Super Cup

@matt v @fabiomh

General Rules

1. Any kassiesa.net Forum member is allowed to take part.

2. Each week, the game-list consists of 10 matches picked from around European leagues, mainly including teams with recent European participation or holding top league positions at that time. Two additional bonus games will be posted each week and will be used as possible replacement games in case one or two regular games are canceled/postponed.

3. Predictions are made on games taking place on weekends (Saturday & Sunday).
The deadline is the last second before the game starts. Sometimes start time of games is changed after the game list is published, so be careful not to miss a possible new deadline, even announced wrongly.

4. The games are picked by the game administrator.
However, any player may recommend a game & their suggestion would be certainly considered.

5. Points are awarded according to the official (final) result of each game.
If on Sunday night a game is under investigation for any reason (cancellation – postponement – interruption – rescheduled, etc.) then we wait until Monday night. If yet, there is no official result, then that game is not taken into account, and the result of the bonus game is used. No matter it was the 1st minute or last minute, no matter if it is 3-0 or 0-3, it does not count.

6. Predicting the correct outcome of a match is rewarded with 2 points. Predicting the exact score is awarded one additional point.

7. In all competitions, the player's score is equal to the points obtained during the week.

8. Players are allowed to predict via private messages (PM). There will be a choice of 2 designated people to send to (to be chosen at start of season) who will post all received PMs (including time stamp) just after the deadline has passed. Players must send predictions to 2 people, 1 of them the Administrator (unless they are your opponent, then 2nd recipient must be the other designated PM receiver). Players must announce it each time they send a PM as well as who they sent it to in order to preserve the integrity of the competition. If for some reason the designated receivers are not available to post the predictions at the appropriate time, the sender must post them on the forum including time stamp which can be verified by the recipients later.

9. Shuffling the game order is prohibited.

10. Copying predictions of an opponent is prohibited & punishable by the cancellation of predictions.

11. All predictions must be sent in one single post. In the case of a double post latest one counts, and predictions for games already started are canceled.

12. Changing predictions after the deadline is prohibited & punished with the cancellation of whole matchday predictions.

13. If someone is unable to predict on a certain week, but really wants to, the player can inform the administrator & request for the list of all possible games to predict in advance.

Hi - what format do you intend for League Cup?

Also you've missed the FEPG Shield (between the winners of D1 and FEPG Cup).

So you will only participate in the Cup as will I.

I won both last season but will be unable to defend the Trophy this due to me winning promotion.

Competitions

1. General Ranking

Format: General Ranking runs the whole season. The points of a player are the sum of points from all the weeks. The one with the most points is declared overall FEPG champion.

Tie-breakers:
- most times MVP of the week
- more 2nd places, 3rd places etc.

Start: Week 1

Entry: No restrictions. Once you've posted predictions, you get automatically enrolled.

2. Leagues (general rules)

General format: Players are classified into different league levels, according to their last season finish. The number of leagues depends on the number of players participating in the game.

Point system: 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss.

Tie-breakers (league):
- head-to-head games (points)
- goals for
- general ranking
- all time ranking

Tie-breakers (play-offs):
- league position

Start Week 1

Entry: Players' enrolment depends on the league performance during previous season. New players are enrolled in the lowest tier.

Missing players: If a player fails to predict 3 times during the league season, he/she is excluded from the league and relegated to the last level, thereby the number of relegated players is reduced by one (with the missing player being already relegated to nowhere) and the number of players in divisions is fixed with shifts. Though, his/her results are not erased but remain as they are.

Every time a player misses an MD, he/she is substituted virtually by a player whose score is the average score of the MD minus 1,125 and rounded. So no player is guaranteed a win against a zero-opponent.
However, if a player is excluded in off-season time, his place is covered by another player according to the leagues' priority list.


Premier League

Format: 14 players play a total of 13 MDs. Last 3 are relegated to Second Division.


Second Division

Format: All remaining players are enrolled in the Second Division. 3 players are promoted to Premier League. The actual league format and promotion rules depend on the number of enrolled participants.


Regions League

Format: Players are grouped into 3-person teams, formed by their choice or by a decision of the game administrator (nationality is taken as the first criteria) based on entries from Ranking week. All teams play one league match against all other teams. The average Week score is taken from the team members that week.

Tie-breakers (group stage):
- head-to-head games (points)
- goals for
- best player's score over NL weeks

Start: week 1

Missing players: If a player misses the first matchday, he/she will be substituted with one of the players not included in any of the teams, ordered by eternal ranking position (if such player exists at all). Substitution is not allowed after the first matchday.

3. Champions League

Format: There will be formed 4 groups of 4 players coming from 4 pots according to the seeding list (based on results from the last 5 seasons). Top 2 from each group advance to quarterfinals, (3rd place move to Europa League knockout rounds) where group winners meet runner-ups. Knockout matches are played over 2 legs, except for the final.
Winners of last season's competitions take a free ticket to the group stage (matt). The remaining players will play a qualification round(s).

Tie-breaker (qualification rounds): seedings list

Tie-breaker (group stage):
- head-to-head games (points)
- goals for
- general ranking
- all time ranking

Tie-breaker (final stages):
- total points over all CL weeks (excluding QRs)
- seedings list

Start: week 4

Missing players: If a player misses the first group stage matchday, he/she is replaced by the best non-qualified player from the last qualification round (determined by the number of points in that round, then followed by general ranking position). If a player misses group stage MD2 or MD3, he/she is excluded from the group and his/her results are cancelled.

Europa League

Format: Shall involve all players eliminated in qualifying round(s) in CL. There will be formed groups of 3 or 4 players coming from (upto) 4 pots according to the seeding list (based on results from the last 5 seasons). Top 4 players (group winners plus some best/all runners-up) advance to quarterfinals where they will meet the 3rd placed players from the Champions league. Knockout matches are played over 2 legs, except for the final.

Tie-breaker (group stage):
- head-to-head games (points)
- goals for
- general ranking
- all time ranking

Tie-breaker (final stages):
- total points over all CL weeks (excluding QRs)
- seedings list


Start: Week 1

Missing players: If a player misses the first group stage matchday, they are replaced by the player they eliminated in the last qualification round, or, if the player was due to receive a bye to group stage, the best eliminated player determined by 5-season seeding. If a player misses group stage MD2 or MD3, they excluded from the group and their results are canceled and group continues with 2/3 players.

4. Cups

FEPG Cup

Format: The competition is a knockout tournament with pairings for each round determined by a random draw. Byes will be assigned based on Ranking Round results.
Each tie is played as a single leg.

Tie-breakers:

I don’t agree with the TB of most correct outcomes. It proved problematic last season!
