I'm going to end Matchday Two at 5.30pm or so because I'm out again tonight and want to get the threads up before I go, so if you haven't voted in all the groups yet please do so ASAP.

We are getting a good number of voters too which is pleasing.

New matches are being done now.


REMEMBER NOT TO VOTE IN ANY MATCH-UP IN YOUR OWN GROUP.

How are the knockout rounds determined? Names out the hat or have groups winners and runners up been aligned with other groups already?

groups and runners up pitted against each other.

Then after that it's a random draw for the next knockout round.

Sexual. We using votes differences as goal difference per se when a group is tied with 3 teams on the same points after match day 3?

yep. @Toony can confirm this I believe.

Shouldn't only group winners go through as it doesnt make sense if someone finished 2nd and went on to win it since they'll have already lost to someone.

That can happen in the real World Cup

Looks like Nudge is going to beat me (currently 1 vote ahead).

In which case it'll be me vs Tsubasa to fight it out for 2nd place in the next matchday.

True but I was just thinking because there are a thousand variables in football and only one variable in this.

If Bob beats Bill by 10 votes and Dave then beats Bob in the knockouts, Bill should not be able to beat Dave if people are being consistent xD:ph34r:

As long as people are consistent it won't matter and runners up get to have a few more matches so that's a positive.

Sorted.

Should be some intriguing ties in the 3rd matchday!

Wonder if there'll be some tactical voting...

This should be public imo - especially as admin (maybe mods) can see who's voted

Is it private? I can see who's voted 

Edit: of course I can. I'm a mod. I'll go back to sleep

Through to the last 32:

As a suggestion, if there's a tie the winner of the tiebreaker should be whoever had more votes overall.

As already agreed, it will be decided on vote difference over the entire group stage.

Would probably cause too many kick-offs if people found out who was voting for who.

Wow - I assumed everyone could see who is voting for whom.

Whoops.

 

I think these things are better when they are more open - 

Particularly when a lot of the entrants can see who has voted, but not others. And that can make a difference tactically if people are that way inclined. Not so much an issue in the Groups, but perhaps in the knock outs it could be an open vote for transparency

Why do you need to know who voted for who? It's enough to get a general feeling of forum popularity, no need to make it even more personal by showing everyone who does and doesn't prefer them over other people.

JOSHBRFC out in the group stage is a travesty.

Same with Panflute. That group was fucking brutal.
