About the skill points, I think I'm letting them increase too easily.  Therefore, the following change:

Winning teams in the season can add one skill point overall.  I'll also give one to half of teams who draw (random selection), and continue with the one point to the lucky loser.

Anyone who won can add one skill point total (not per section) - just PM me with your changes.  Lucky draw teams are Trail & Castlegar, Windsor Rum Runners, Farmers FC, and DR Legion.  The lucky loser is Hans Island, who gets to add points as well.

Also a reminder that you can change you skill levels to whatever values you want for your first three league games, as long as you keep a minimum of 30 in each category.

Also, regarding skill - be careful about balance.  ie. If you have great passing skill, that's wonderful; you can do nice, long passes.  But if you have no receiving skill (lead), it's not going to do you much good.

Every skill calculation except for one (whether your shot is on or off target, and I may change that) is based on the ratio between offensive values and the corresponding defensive values.  It's kind of cool in that neglected skill areas may not matter much if everyone else is neglecting them too, while it may be difficult to run away with things in important areas if everyone else thinks those areas are also important.  It also means that you start to get diminishing returns if you overload certain areas.

And player names are working again - turns out that I loaded them into the program... and then set them all to null afterwards.

Special thanks to Nanaimo Barre and Porcupine Gold Rush for being my guinea pigs in a three-match showdown, with two of those being ET thrillers.

I think my keeper Ricky Rick should be on the team of the week. Sure he only stopped 75% of on-target shots he faced and lost 2-0, but he's named after a character played by Tommy Wiseau and I imagine him having a similar personally to that character (incompetent drug dealing mubler who is the son of a billionaire but needs a low paying job for some reason).

So in the Strategy section is there any limit? Set everything to +2?

Sorry but new to the FL thing. First one I've been in.

Yeah, everything is independent there.  You can set everything to +2, -2, or anything you want.

If we don't send you our settings for a match will you just use them from the previous one? I want to let it ride

Yes.

What seems to have happened is that I wrongly assumed you only had 30 points to divide between the 4 categories. Teething pains

I gave you the default skill setup so you weren't actually handicapped by having shit skill everywhere - sorry for not noticing that earlier.

Just a couple of notes:

Home team for the next round will be determined by higher division: MLS > DRFL > NASL.  If two DRFL teams meet, it will be by random draw.

Skill totals were as follows:
MLS: 144
NASL/USL/DRFL: 120
PDL & top 6 L1O: 96
PLSQ & bottom L1O: 88
Challenge Trophy: 80

A nice bounce back win after the drubbing we took in league play.  :)

PS. Fired the coach after the first game because losing 6-1 to the commish's team was too embarrassing. I plan to fire the coach after every loss. Queue up the coaches!!!

Worst part is when I divided my stats out I set Goal-Stopping as the second highest attribute.

Only 1 upset in the 1st round with TFC III downing a DRFL team. Interesting. Love my 6-0 Victory over L10's Master's Futbol. I'm looking forward to the rematch against Espanola in the V-Cup.

 

@Gopherbashi is it a 1 or 2 skill point game for V-cup Victories? Many thanks! It might be worthwhile adding the point gain system to your schedule wiki.
