The Official Mini Fantasy Cup Game Thread

Good evening players. Sorry for the lack of table updates. I'm currently without laptop and using nothing more than my humble phone.

Anyhow, here are the next round of fixtures as we build towards the knock out stages.

Sakari v sushifiesta

And

jez101 v teabagyokel

Good luck one and all.

 

[RasputinLives]

Without me in it this kind of feels like a football Saturday when England have a mid-week game. None of the big boys are in it

 

[Sakari]

What is happening in the cup?

 

[jez101]

I think it was red flagged after some bozo stole cider_and_toast 's laptop. Probably the same charlatan who ruined Sunday's race by wandering onto the circuit.

I think we went far enough for ff1 rule 101 to apply, declaring me as the winner .

 

[Dash Racing]

I kept tracking it up to Hungary in my own spreadsheets, so I could pass the relevant parts of the file on to cider_and_toast if he likes? Otherwise, I think I might be able to finish it up, though it's kind of unfortunate for people who hadn't figured out the pattern, since they had no warning to change things around for their match-ups.

 

[Dash Racing]

I decided to update my sheets through to Singapore. Based on the pattern, this is how the OMFCG stands:

Group A	Played	Won	Draw	Lost	Points Diff
Sakari	4	2	1	1	+122
Jos the Boss	3	2	0	1	+34
WBF1	3	2	1	0	+95
Rasputinlives	4	2	0	2	+4
Sushifiesta	4	0	0	4	-255

Group B	Played	Won	Draw	Lost	Points Diff
Jez101	4	4	0	0	+397
Teabagyokel	4	2	0	2	+76
Soccerman17	4	3	0	1	+222
Dash Racing	3	0	0	3	-101
FB	3	0	0	3	-594

The match-ups for Japan:
Group A Jos the Boss vs. -WBF1-
Group B FB vs. me

If you want, I can post a more detailed breakdown on the match ups for each race. Let me know if you'd like that, and I'll get it done.

Group B	Played	Won	Draw	Lost	Points Diff
Jez101	4	4	0	0	+397

 

[-WBF1-]

Well done Dash, I probably should keep better records

 

[FB]

Looks like a some free points for you then Dash Racing

 

[Dash Racing]

For either of us to win some points in the OMFCG would be a bit of a miracle! We're the worst teams in our group Best of luck FB!

 

[Sakari]

I decided to update my sheets through to Singapore.

Nice one Dash Racing

 

[Brogan]

The cup seems to die every year.

I was going to incorporate it into the main FF1 game with some additional code, but based on how the site seems to be going I don't see the point any longer.

 

[Dash Racing]

Here's the results for Japan, folks!
-WBF1- 829 vs Jos the Boss 772 - Difference: 57
Dash Racing 789 vs FB 584 - Difference: 205

Group A	Played	Won	Draw	Lost	Points Diff
Sakari	4	2	1	1	+122
Jos the Boss	4	2	0	2	-23
WBF1	4	3	1	0	+152
Rasputinlives	4	2	0	2	+4
Sushifiesta	4	0	0	4	-255

Group B	Played	Won	Draw	Lost	Points Diff
Jez101	4	4	0	0	+397
Teabagyokel	4	2	0	2	+76
Soccerman17	4	3	0	1	+222
Dash Racing	4	1	0	3	+104
FB	3	0	0	3	-799

Now, appropriate for the season, we too begin the Chase for the Cup. The Cup is the prize. The Plate is just to make us losers feel better about losing

Please excuse my atrocious graphics, I don't have anything more sophisticated than paint on this laptop. I hope I've got this right, I've done my best to interpret what was meant to happen at this phase. I decided to give our Cup contenders a match every two races in the build up to the final at Abu Dhabi. If -WBF1- and soccerman17 agree to it, I can give you a race off and have you compete at USA instead of Russia? Let me know what you think.

 

[-WBF1-]

I am happy to be in your hands, Dash do with me as you wish

Thanks of once again putting the effort in.

 

[soccerman17]

-WBF1- do you want Russia or the USA? I'd personally prefer USA and take a week off but it is ultimately up to you.

 

[-WBF1-]

I'm happy either way Soccerman. If you prefer USA lets do that

 

[Dash Racing]

Perfect, then your matchup can be in the USA

 

[FB]

Stupid bloody game.

 

[Dash Racing]

I'm not very good at this cup thing either.

 

[Dash Racing]

With the chaos of the Russian Grand Prix, Jos the Boss scores 728 points. FB 's score for Russia was 559. His final score for the OMFCG is -968, and he will go no further. Better luck next year, FB!

Jos the Boss advances to the semis in Mexico, where he'll face Rasputinlives.

With F1 heading to Austin, Texas, we'll have two matchups:
-WBF1- vs soccerman17 for the Cup semis
teabagyokel vs sushifiesta for the Plate quarterfinals.

I wish my round in Brazil had been in Russia instead, because I kicked butt in Russia.
