Scow Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 Looking at the Cobblers friendly thread, it seems we're getting more and more people interested in these forum games. To ensure that everyone gets a fair chance of playing in future games, maybe a FoxesTalk 5-a-side tournament could be arranged? If for example we get 25 people interested, then we could split in to 5 different teams and play the tournament in a group format. It may be a tad ambitious and a bit difficult to organise, but it could be something worth considering. Thoughts?
davieG Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 When I've done this before we had: 5 Teams of 6 people including 1 sub = 30 people Round Robin where each team plays the other = 10 games 10 games x 15 minutes + 5 minutes for change over = 3hrs 20 minutes 3 points for a win top If time permits top 2 teams play off Total time 3.5 - 4 hrs. If you've got 2 pitches you can half the time or double the entries or a bit of both. Or something along those lines
CosbehFox Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 Give Goals a ring, they organise all this. They will do all the hard work and quote you a price. Work out the price per man and if it's good, go for it. They'll do it like a corporate tournament. You'll have a neutral ref, trophies etc. Failing Goals, give the FA pitch at Judgemeadow a try. Although our relationship with Goals is hardly at tops atm (robbing barstools). I fail to see why Foxes Trust didn't do this - their excuse of not having enough refs could have easily been solved by playing at either venue. Saves the hassle - you just have to turn and play. Saturdays and Sundays during the day are dead up there. From TBFC's 5-a-side captain and 11-a-side centre half.
Flynny Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 Thats a really good idea, but how would teams be done? Random drawing or otherwise? Each has flaws.

If you've got 2 pitches you can half the time or double the entries or a bit of both. Or something along those lines Well up for it. Could hire out st Margarets for that length of time i think. Best way to divide teams either, make ur own between friends, or randomly draw them out.
Durnerz Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 I'm in, who wants me?.......don't jump all at once......
Sparky Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 If anybody is willing to organise it then ill offer my services as 2nd in command
Melton Fox Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 If you get this sorted but are struggling for a final team, give us a shout on TB, we could lob a team in as well to make up the numbers.
Durnerz Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 I want to play football again. You can be in my team again Leese. Link up like old times ala goals!
Guest Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 You can be in my team again Leese.Link up like old times ala goals! Yeah! As long as Cobbo can set me up!! On me 'ead!!
davieG Posted 26 May 2008 Posted 26 May 2008 Perhaps every team should include one lady, not a token one either.
