Please note that the Association Codes section of the latest access list/draws post is incorrect, with omissions of multiple new/returning associations for the cycle (e.g. Siovanija and Teusland - STL) and including associations who have not posted (e.g. Naixi - NIX or Cap Nord - CNR).

This has been rectified.

Thank you for a very quick response!

[IFCF]

There was a seeding mistake regarding the LBCT because one of the councilpersons is a bit thick. It has been rectified. This means the first qualifying round has been redrawn.

[IFCF]

In the 2nd Qualifying Round of the IFCC, the following matches weren't scored with the correct competition(s) selected, leading to them reading "#-".

These have been rescored:

(RLS)                              Dasein    3–0    Sammy United FC                     (BAY)   3– –   
(INS)                 Southbay Riveria FC    1–0    Lehen Neorudo                       (MRT)   1– –   
(STL)               FK Metropola Borograd    4–0    Police/St Vincent                   (YSQ)   4– –  
(YGZ)                            Prado Ñu    2–0    Sindvpore FC                        (INS)   2– –

To these results:

(RLS)                              Dasein    3–6    Sammy United FC                     (BAY)   1–3   2–3 
(INS)                 Southbay Riveria FC    1–4    Lehen Neorudo                       (MRT)   0–3   1–1 
(STL)               FK Metropola Borograd    3–2    Police/St Vincent                   (YSQ)   1–1   2–1 
(YGZ)                            Prado Ñu    3–1    Sindvpore FC                        (INS)   2–1   1–0

Thankfully, the new winners are also unseeded, so this has no bearing on the 3rd Qualifying Round Draw. Sammy United FC and Lehen Neorudo will take the place of Dasein and Southbay Riveria FC in the already posted draw instead of redrawing.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Quick notification that the transfer window will gently slam shut once the group stages have been posted. The bid tab will be locked, but you will still have full access to everything else and transfers can still be agreed on privately.

[Tikariot]

Alright, with the group stages posted, you now have 24 hours to finish off what you started, Last Chance Station!

IFCF CC HOST ANNOUNCEMENT

In the Playoff Round of the IFCF CC, a mistake was made while randomizing the matchups - namely, the filter used to make sure seeded and unseeded teams cannot play between themselves was turned off by accident. This led to seven matchups between seeded teams and seven matchups between unseeded teams. As fourteen of twenty-four ties are affected, after deliberation among the council, it was decided that the IFCF CC will be rescored starting the Playoff Round, which will include the Group Stage and the upcoming Round of Thirty-Two/Round of Sixteen post.

This will also mean that the Association's Trophy will also need to be rescored as the ChC directly feeds into the AT.

My apologies on the error to anyone that's impacted. Also, please be warned that there may be a delay to sort all this out, make edits to the two posts impacted, and complete scoring the Ro32/Ro16.

As Nephara, the original writer of the excellent domestic league tutorials, has left the community, I've taken the liberty of compiling all 5 parts of their tutorials and placed it inside a factbook for easy reference for any future newbies wishing to learn how to write a good domestic league. The parts are located in the link below. Happy browsing.

Thanks to the many guides and dispatches, I am on my way to creating a domestic soccer league. Thank you everyone!

Hi folks.

Just making sure - the IFCF deadline is still the 21st right?

[IFCF]

Since we did not get to post this on the forums, and now I magically found access to this account and the forums, let me just help to confirm for our Discord-less friends that here is an extension to April 28. Same time, 23:59 Pacific Daylight Time.

[Delte]

Are there plans for an FFI instalment before the new IFCF season gets under way?

[Tumbra]

Are there any updates on a potential tweak to the IFCF Super Cup? I recall it being a rather contentious topic a while back.

[IFCF]

As part of the proposed Super Cup revamp, obviously there isn't a clear consensus on who and how many to include, so as previously discussed it will go up for a vote. RSC has been excluded as there doesn't seem to be many asking for them to be included. The options are as below:

1) CL - ChC - LBCT
2) CL - ChC - AT
3) CL - ChC - AT - CWC (LBCT as back-up if CWC winner doubles up)
4) CL - ChC - AT - LBCT
5) CL - ChC - AT - CWC - LBCT

Eligible users (IFCF users who have submitted in either 2 of the last 3 seasons, or 3 of the last 5) can cast a single vote, listing the choices in order of preference. Please submit votes to Olastor. The deadline for this vote will be the same as the IFCF deadline - Sunday 28th May 23:59 (Pacific Daylight Time).

Once we have the winning vote in terms of teams included, there may or may not be a further vote in terms of structure of the competition.
