Hi everyone. Recently we've been playing pick up games via draft process and it's gone over very well with the community. I've decided to take things a step further and organize a mini tournament for the holidays. Hopefully this will be a lot of fun for our current player base and also act as a recruiting tool for the league. If we have a lot of interest I would like to make this a regular thing... So, without further delay, here are the details for the Knifey FIFA 20 Holiday Invitational!!!!!! When: December 22nd - Draft starts at 7:30PM EST - Games start at 8:00PM EST Where: https://discord.gg/FTP8hDH Who: 4 Teams of 6+ Players; subject to change if we can get 8 teams Format & Rules: - Each captain picks 2 co-captains, the remaining players will be entered into a draft. - No Any or GK required; compile your team however you desire - 2 Leg Format for Quarter-Finals & Semi-Finals; Goal differential is tie breaker. - Tied after 2nd game goes to standard extra time followed by PKs - 1 Game Finals; same extra time & PK rules if tied after 90 minutes - All Games must be streamed by at least one team for public - All players welcome but Team Captains must be LGFA affiliated - Team Captain spots are first come first serve. *Date, Rules, and Format are subject to change. I am also debating a $100 prize for winning captain* 1) Team Knifey (Man Utd.) 2) TBD 3) TBD 4) TBD 5) TBD 6) TBD 7) TBD 8) TBD Contact me if you're interested in playing or running a team. Anyone signed up for LGFA Season 8 will be considered "pre-registered". Non LGFA members must be registered through their Team captain(s); just send me their PSN name ahead of the draft to register.

Also, I am realizing this is a learning experience and my original tie-breaker rules were a bit flawed. Here's how we'll handle things... Semi-Finals Tiebreaker: Tiebreaker is straight goal differential; same value for home and away goals. If both teams have the same amount of goals, they will play in a 3rd Golden Goal game immediately following the second leg. First team to score wins. If still tied 0-0 after full time and 2 extra time periods go to PKs. Finals Tiebreaker: Standard 2 extra time periods followed by PKs
Here's the results from the draft. Good luck everyone. Draft Selection Order: R1 1 Crystal Palace - Ash_Bae 2 Chelsea - E_Fuchs 3 Illadelphia/ManUtd - Potts 4 Tottenham - PVt_Gosling R2 5 Tottenham - vivaelchelsea 6 Illadelphia/ManUtd - NYsports02 7 Chelsea - Argo2315 8 Crystal Palace - A_BREED_APART R3 9 Crystal Palace - The_Blind_Ref 10 Chelsea - CoLoMbiAn_FLaCo 11 Illadelphia/ManUtd - SoCalmAssassinMA 12 Tottenham - OptimusPrimus R4 13 Tottenham - alonzi401 14 Illadelphia/ManUtd - BroadwayCJ 15 Chelsea - Semple19 16 Crystal Palace - KeEn_CJ R5 17 Crystal Palace - Ethan11 18 Chelsea - Wsheikh90 19 Illadelphia/ManUtd - BluesFan1997 20 Tottenham - Karthikacmilan R6 21 Tottenham - cerb-EXE 22 Illadelphia/ManUtd - pewptypaynth 23 Chelsea - Cupid55 24 Crystal Palace - Robothom5 R7 25 Crystal Palace - Kamatcho--9 26 Chelsea - BM_721 27 Illadelphia/ManUtd - Misteroot84
