Hey guys, I’ve tried to locate the post where I’m meant to put the game link, but for some reason numerous posts in this thread are showing as deleted for me and I can no longer see the scores thread at all. I hope Paul George posting the link is sufficient. Not sure how I meet the requirements if I do somehow make it to the next round.
Hello Deano,
That sounds strange indeed.
You (and of course everyone else as well) are supposed to add match link (and eventually the score later on, when match has been played) to your own team box score post.
Everybody can access their Season 1 box score posts following links after their team names, here: (326590.4).
Please add match links for each match (including Playoffs) to your own box score posts if you haven't yet done so.Deano, in the very unlikely case that link wouldn't work, your own Season 1 box score post can be found from here directly:
(326590.56). It seems you did found that post though eventually, as you had added your Second Round link there. When you have time, can you also please correct term AQR2 as for your First Round "result", as you didn't play on First Round of Playoffs.
I know I just instructed to copy-paste it directly from my box score post, but as you are one of top 4 teams, term Automatically Qualified for Round 2 (AQR2) applies to your team instead of match link. It is kind of self explanatory, when you read through those abbreviations (such as AQR2) explanations section at the end of my box score post, but I could've explained it in more thorough manner.
I just sometimes try to make writings a bit shorter (and try to trust that people know how to act based on those shorter writings), as some have commented that they prefer shorter posts. But this is also one example why I often keep on writing longer ones.
Anyway, thanks for all for organizing matches for Second Round on next Sunday!
While 2 remaining Finnish teams (Suuret Muinaiset and myself) are entering Second Round as major underdogs, there are two notable points at least for Second Round:
- one French team is guaranteed to play in Medal games this season (and WMO-ED should be a very interesting match indeed!)
- if all favorites (ranked from 1 to 3 in ORSR) will win on Second Round, we will have participants from 3 different continents in Medal games!
As for the underdog starting point for Round 2 - well, everything is possible just as Hadár noted earlier, especially in one match series, but let's still face the reality; one needs to perform at very high level to beat Svätý Jur Snakers or Santa Eufemia Ducks and possibly injuries or early foul outs would be needed to clinch the victory against the top opposition. But that's often the case in real life as well, so we'll have to live with the underdog position. ;)
Having said that, to be honest I can't recall if mid-game injuries (that last only until the end of the current match) are even a possibility in Pickup matches, as I only remember that PU matches can't produce long term injuries.
