Asunto: »[NT]National fixtures

29 of April Venezuela versus Peru

When will be published the official calendar of NT friendly league? We have to plan next friendly game... :)

NT friendly league? Are you off your rocker?

Hi I'm Romanian manager:

Turkey's manager organise it. He want to play it in one league probably. But i think we will be playing this league for too long time. We (teams who are not on world cup) should play also against better teams so we can't waste 7-10 weeks only for playing against each other.

So there are my propositions

I don't know how many teams want to play in NT Friendly League (maybe we should named it: Little World Cup ;) )

1. if there is 8 teams:

2 groups with 4 teams. (3 weeks)

then semifinals (maybe also matches for 5th-8th positions)

and final, 3rd place match etc.

2. 12 teams

3 groups with 4 teams

Best teams go to semifinals
+ 1 team from 2nd place with the best points and goals bilans.

all tournament in 5 weeks. and then we could check our teams against that teams who are ruled out from World Cup

What do you think about it??
(this question is to all managers whos teams don't play on World Cup)

i think,its a good plan, i am in for short version of ''mini world cup'' :P

Siriam, you are off your rocker...

We organized an NT friendy league between NT out of world cup. If you don't know, you have to inform...

I also agree to your proposal :)

All the NTs that's either new or didn't qualify for WC kindly accepted tournament. The reason of the tournament is to add excitement to friendly games and further enhance the friendly atmosphere of SK community. The fixtures will be based on ratings system but new countries will be considered as having zero points, because they have requested to try out their new squad and tactics to the same level teams. And as many NTs would like to make other NT matches with much stronger WC teams, the tournament fixture will be short.

yes.. 12 teams accepted my invite. but please be patient until this weekend and please don't promise other NTs about friendly match for 29th and after.

i had already scheduled match on 29th. I think some other countries also arranged matches then.
So maybe we should start on that weekend when "Big" World Cup starts = 6th of May

I know that maybe it is too early for showing shedule but what form do you choose??

1 group with 12 teams
2 groups with 6 teams
or 3 groups with 4 teams

i prefer that 3rd option

He said me that Friendly league will began next week, so i don't arranged any match...i hope it start 29th april...

I think the first option is not suitable for many teams would like to have a match against a stronger NT after tournament and a group with 12 teams will have a huge fixture. 2 groups or three groups seem much suitable. Now I think we need one more NT in order to have all NTs have match in a particular week. I think the creators will solve this soon and the tournament will begin soon. But please do not further arrange NT matches as it risks the tournament and the NTs trust on the others.

i have match against England 29th and i don't want to change it. I think we should play then when the world cup is played. So it should start on 6th May.

any new info about "little" World Cup??

Bear in mind that South American countries (including those new or not qualified to World Cup) have agreed to play Copa América as soon as the last of us is out of WC :)

In current system there is always one team left without a match for a particular week. If this will not be solved this week, I think the remaining countries should agree on a schedule and the team with no match could be Romania, in that case already playing a match with a WC country. The rest, which don't arranged a match will then start for this tournament matches at 29th. From other week and on, that's May 6, matches should be arranged according to a schedule announced by all participants consensus.

Note that, unfortunately my proposal doesn't prevent one NT being out of matches every week as the NT numbers are currently odd and there's always one NT out of game. As long as the current system goes on and a bot NT, etc. will not added to game for this season, I'm afraid it will effect the NTs participated in this tournament (currently all the NTs except WC participants) rather than the teams that automatically had their matches arranged because of WC. Hope the situation becomes clear this week, and sorry for Nigerians who are the first victims of this system.
