I'm trying to develop a FIFA tournament for 360 consisting of mostly #NT. I need a few more people to fill out the roster. Skill doesn't matter. Only requirement is that you have twitter and can play your elimination games out within a reasonable time window. @xblaze23

If I've dealt with you before, chances are you're already in the preliminary list. Once the roster is finalized, I'll announce the details.

there will be a prize

Got you guys: SonOfTony & riceeznnu . Need about 3 more.

I'll post updates here but twitter plays an important role because I can communicate with mostly everyone involved // you guys will be able to set up matches with your designated opponent easily on there. It's a playoff bracket so you won't have to add many gamertags. (as you would in a league)

I'd like a full bracket before getting into specific details and rules. This semester has come to a close for most so now is a good time to make it happen.

So skills don't matter? I'm a complete newb to FIFA as this is the first one I've bought and played online. I'm down, but what if I don't have a twitter?

I'm planning to start it off in the next couple days. If we can assign the first round match ups before the weekend, that would be cool. Just need 2 more to complete the 32 man bracket. Not rushing to start it because I want the first attempt to go smoothly.

How will the teams be picked?

The only teams that are unavailable from selection will be International teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona. You pick whomever you want before each round. You're in.

So skills don't matter? I'm a complete newb to FIFA as this is the first one I've bought and played online. I'm down, but what if I don't have a twitter? nerd.gif

Honestly, they don't matter. As long as you're willing to play your match up in a reasonable time period, you're good. The quickest way to get better at FIFA is experience. There's no entrance fee so you have nothing to lose.


If you don't have twitter, it's cool. I'll make an effort to post here frequently providing vital information, round updates // answer questions. Smellyginger, you're in so I need 2 more.

 

[vtotheinay]

You got the game for 360 bro? Don't want to rush you into buying the game for the tourney.

louislagerfield, if you're indeed down, list your gamertag. You would be #31 meaning one last spot remaining. The bracket may be delivered today along with the rules/guidelines.

So far Dortmund, Juve and Inter have been called.

I like what xblaze is doing with certain teams being banned. Want to keep it the same. I figured everything would stay the same since it's his idea but there was a demand for it on PS3 right away. It was suggested that I put it together since I put the PC together

 

[xblaze23]

If you still have that last spot remaining GT: wreckaz

done deal. The guidelines and bracket will be announced tonight so that everyone can get their games in over the weekend. crazy

 

[MetalMario]

are we one match to decide the winner? or 2 outta 3 wins? also are we doing like standard tourney rules were if you lose you can switch teams while the winner can't for the next round?

OFFICIAL FIFA 13 TOURNAMENT AKA GOD'S CUP presented by @xblaze23 in collaboration with @uMADFC and #NT.


FAQ // BASIC RULES & GUIDELINES

* When sending invite, please select "online roster" instead of default / custom roster.
* Please record your scores. It will be important with the 2 leg match up format.
* The final championship match will be a one game elimination match. Home/Away will be determined with a coin flip.
* There will be a third place game between the teams that lost in the semi-finals.
* Communication is key. We all have Internet access, smart phones, Xbox Live, etc. There should be little issue in terms of communication.
* If there's a problem within the game, it should be noted at the beginning. For example, If the soccer ball is invisible... Don't wait till the 88th minute to raise that point or the result stands.
* report your scores to me, xblaze23 so that the bracket may be updated.

Which teams are available?
The only banned teams are International teams, World XI, All-Star XI, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. This will lead to a more level playing field and more variety in terms of teams used. Pick your team before each match.

If Both competitors tend to use the same team...
I don't mind you guys playing each other with the same team but I would prefer you guys come to some sort of compromise. For example, if y'all both prefer to use Juventus.. You can do Juve versus Juve OR take turns using that team.

Which mode do we play our matches in?
Online friendlies. The settings should be:

Team Level: Any
Half Length: 6 Mins
Controls : Any
Game Speed: Normal
Squad Type: Online


My opponent was assigned to me, what now?
Add your opponent to your Xbox friends list. Use one of the many communication avenues: Niketalk PM system, their twitter handle, Xbox Live messaging to organize the match up. I will help with the process.

Add your opponent as a friend
From the FIFA 13 menu select Online Modes
Select Online Friendlies
Find your opponent from your Friend's list
Choose the correct game settings then Invite to Friendly **When it's your turn to send invite, that makes you the home team.**

How was the bracket determined because the region I am in looks stacked?
We will utilize intense randomization techniques including but not limited to names in a Yankee hat to determine the bracket. A mixing app may also come into play.


How do we determine a winner in every match up?
You're assigned an opponent. You will play 2 matches vs. your assigned opponent. One home game in which you send invite first. One away game in which your opponent sends invite. The scores of both matches will be added together to determine a winner.

#%!&, we drew 5-5 on aggregate, what now?
Away goal rule is in effect. Whomever scores the most away goals wins and advances to the next round. This is the same system used in the UEFA Champions League knockout. For more information on the Away Goal Rule, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Away_goals_rule

Example:
Game 1: PlayerA (3-1) PlayerB
Game 2: PlayerB (2-0) PlayerA

The winner is PlayerB because he scored one away goal to PlayerA's 0.

Damn man, we're tied up on aggregate and away goals.
Unfortunately, online friendlies don't lead to penalty kicks so you'll play a third and final game. The winner of this third game advances. Determine who sends invite first amongst yourselves. If you can't agree on this, communicate it to me. I'll flip a coin to determine who is the home team.

Why did you guys choose playing over 2 legs instead of one game elimination?
This format is better because it reduces flukes. Bad uncharacteristic outing in the first match? it's cool, try to redeem yourself in the second leg.

No love for PS3 bruh?
I may have something for you guys in the future depending on the success of this. It was just a logical first step to host a 360 tournament.


Prizes
First place. 1600 Microsoft Point code.
Second place 50K FIFA Ultimate Team Coins.
Third place 15K FIFA Ultimate Team Coins.
Fourth place man, you ain't on the podium.

Got a question not listed here? still confused? contact me.

If the response to this tournament is positive and problems are limited, I will organize more in the future.
