Subject: [DEV] International Cup

Don't really know if promotion is smart at this moment...

smart not smart we are suppose to play always fair right :)
you ask me to not play safe in friendlies but to loose in official tournament what is the logic :)
by the way few teams already forget to do line up for monday one of the things i predicted unfortunately :(

I got 1 red card and 3 injuries... I'm so glad this is arcade.

As Geston said, they should add the IC category, and even the group, to each club's website next to the national division and youth league. It would make it easier to find out how other teams are doing in this competition.

yeees

And maybe have some kind of following the path after group stages?, as now we can only see the last day

A big problem still is the communication. Yesterday a Belgian user asked why he was signed in for arcade matches every monday while he doesn't want to play arcade. The IC tournament should be communicated through PM. The news through pressroom still isn't reaching all managers clearly. And it's all because of poor interfaces within Sokker. Priorities should always be communication at number 1...

I agree. Clubs should be asked whether they want to participate in the tournament during the week before the draw.

The algorithm should then distribute the interested teams evenly to form the groups.

It's not a question about asking but about communication. They should know what is coming...what is new. Important messages should be given through PM

Anyone interested in the game or tournament already checks press releases and message boxes. It's even stated on the national forms that Monday's ARCADE will be an international tournament.

Therefore, I suggest there be a box at the beginning of the season. An announcement should be made. Those who want to participate will already know their responsibility. There wouldn't even be a need for private messages.

Although I find it incredible to believe people don't want more actual games/training, people who don't want to participate can just make a corner tactic for these games.

I honestly just don't want this great idea from devs to be blown up because honestly I'd rather just use it for corner tactic training, since friendlies are only 85%.

For some reason there always are people who don't read news nor forums regularly. Is their choice.

I don't see any problem in communication in this case, and don't lose sight of the fact that this is the unique arcade season of the IC.

Personally, I can train my players, even those under 21, in the two official matches; the third one is unnecessary for me.

I consider this third match important precisely to broaden the range of options regarding training versus first-team matches.

To expand :) and what to train in the first place is written - completely enough

this is where I'm at. It is a means to train successfully as well without crippling league play.
