 | Piaras M Carney By the way, there is an extra spot in Division 5 for the highest-ranked of the new applicants, as there are currently 7 players there. |
 | Fiona T For us (relative) noobs, can you explain a bit what this is, and whether it is a good thing for the very average player to sign up for? |
| Andy SC Works like the football does Fiona. i.e. promotions and relegations. I highly recommend it, |
| Piaras M Carney Quick heads-up, the league begins at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow. |
 | Spike Nard Hi Piaras, will not be taking part in this cycle as it's a bit of a busy time. Best of luck to everyone else taking part- hope to return in Cycle 30 :) |
| Piaras M Carney Thanks for letting me know, Spike (and for competing in the past two cycles as a whole). I hope to see you in Cycle 30 as well :) |
| Piaras M Carney (By the way, this means there's a quick reshuffling of the League, and two automatic promotion places for the lower divisions, now that I've realised that 2 up/1 down will still leave 7 people in Division 2.) |
| Piaras M Carney nvm, it'll start at 1 p.m. because I only woke up around 15 minutes ago :P |
| Piaras M Carney Sign-ups closed. Fixtures will be added between now and about half past 1. |
| Piaras M Carney Since there are now 6 players in Division 5, and 5 new sign-ups, I've decided to make Division 5 into two groups, one with 5 players and one with 6. More info soon. |
 | Zarte Siempre Have you taken into account Jason's suspension? |
| Piaras M Carney No idea that ever happened |
| Piaras M Carney I haven't been on the site that much recently due to exams |

 | Stephen Holford Oy Piaras stop putting yourself above me in the league when I've got more points lol |
| Piaras M Carney Oh yeah, forgot to sort it :P |
 | Tracey Mills I will be around Thursday or Friday so I will try and get my games finished. |
Tourney round: The Apto-Tude League: Cycle 29
Notes from the organizer: After a crafty little bug on my laptop locked me out of my account for the past week, it has now been squished/swatted/let out the window/sprayed. (Thanks to Charlie for responding quickly)
So, this is the cycle where the places in Divisions 1+2 become on par with the rest of them.
To demonstrate, here is an extremely unconvoluted and uncomplicated little diagram, which I put together in about 30 seconds:
(Division 1)
1st-6th: nothing
7th: relegation playoff vs 2nd in D2
(Division 2)
1st: automatic promotion
2nd: promotion playoff vs 7th in D1
7th: relegation playoff vs 2nd in D3
(Divisions 3 to the lowest one)
1st: promotion
2nd: promotion playoff vs 8th in Division n-1
(this one applies to D3 down to the 2nd-lowest one)
8th: relegation playoff vs 2nd in Division n+1
Hopefully that didn't confuse anybody too much.
YOU DON'T NEED TO SIGN UP IF YOU PLAYED IN THE LEAGUE LAST SEASON (and haven't withdrawn) YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED ALREADY :)
As always, play your games (or at least make an effort to organise them), eat your greens, stay in school, pay your taxes, wear your seatbelt, and don't throw coconuts onto a football pitch.
:)
