UKNM: Footie tournament needs support!

[Jeraint Hazan]

On-line Publishing are organising and sponsoring the first ever New

Media Cup. A fun five a side football tournament featuring the best that

the Internet can offer. This momentous event (co-incidentally timed

around another footie tournament going on in France) will offer frills,

spills and a host of prizes covering all aspects of virtual soccer.


The tournament is limited to 10 teams (one of which is OLP!) and will be

held from 8-10 p.m. at the football pitches on Market Road, Islington

N7, which is next to Islington Tennis Centre and 5 mins from Caledonian

Road Tube.


The Rules!


Each team must have a squad of 8 players, of which at least 2 must be

women.


Each team must play at least 1 women in every game, otherwise they risk

disqualification.


Each team will be allowed 1 "ringer" only (e.g. that semi-pro that used

to work with Colin�s best mate when we did that Eurosoccer site). NO

CURRENT PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS!!!


The tournament will commence with the Group phase, which will consist of

2 groups of five teams each, which will be drawn at random. Each match

will be 5 mins each way with 5 mins half-time break. There will be no

limit on substitutions, so long as there are always 1 woman playing at

any time. 3 points for a win, 1 points for a draw and nil points for

losing (it's a hard world out there!). Teams with equal points will be

separated by goals scored, goal difference and goals conceded, in that

order. In the unlikely event of 2 teams being equal, then a sudden death

penalty shoot out will commence.


The 2 top teams from each group will go through to the semi-finals,

which will be 7.5 mins each way. The winners will be meet in the final,

a gruelling 10 mins each way, before the champions emerge. Both of these

matches will have 5 mins of sudden death extra time (Golden Goal). If

scores are still equal after this, then sudden death penalty shoot out

will commence.


OLP will sponsor the pitches, balls, prizes and refs. Every team is

expected to bring own food and drink, although pubs are nearby.

We will need to meet at 7.00 p.m. at latest to sort out the Groups

and make sure everyone's ready to kick off at 8 p.m.


Awards will be given for team names, fashion statements and supporters

amongst others. Please e-mail me if you are want to enter a team (based


around your company, if possible) as places are limited. I hope that

this evening will be loads of fun and continue the good work started by

Sam & Realmedia last month at the UKNM meeting in Charlotte Street. If you

are not

selected to play or apply too late, then it would be good to come along

and support event. You may win the best supporters award without even

playing!


Please pass this on to others not using this list, if you feel they

would be interested in getting team together.


Yours - Jeraint
