Oh wow. That's ridiculous.

by **Tyrrin** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 9:03 pm

It was a good run, but I didn't expect to qualify this time, or even next time. I guess I'll start on my strategy of preying on those who no longer RP.

I thought you'd qualify. I didn't think you'd lose to Gordon Bay City.

I've lost to Gordon Bay City before ...

Well Bostopia failed too ...

Congrats Sargossa!

Thanks! From group stage exit in the BoF to World Cup Finals in two campaigns. Not quite how I pictured it when I first signed up.

My sincere condolences to Secristan, who will be waking up to just about the only combination of results that could keep up his frustrating record of non-qualification: a Holy Empire victory away to Sarzonia, and his own failure to beat Queer Poco El Mono Ara.

His 31 points - enough to win some groups - make him, yes, the best team not to qualify for World Cup 48.

That must really, really hurt.

Edit: Weegies, please read your TGs if you're still interested in that BoF co-hosting jobbie.

Yes it does. ICly with my nation this would be very damaging to repair for the next go around, or for their to be any CoH interest.

Turned out to be a great group. Perhaps next time we will get in!

Happy with the 2nd best record aswell, 12-1-1.

I'll have the best record of the second-placers. 12-1-1, and behind the Sandrians on goals frickin' scored.

And there it is, a weekend of inactivity and both QP and Pays de Horruer manage to prevent people qualifying for the World Cup with draws.

I feel like a villain.

Works so much better that way, doesn't it?

Though Secristan may not agree with me (sorry).

Arr. Replied and stuff. Interest notified.

Hey, I just realised, my home record this World Cup was ridiculously good, considering my ranking - I only lost to Kura-Pelland at home.

Must be the Kietecs effect. Although I had expected a major choke-up in the last three matches

Aren't PdH supposed to be villains?

I always thought they were just misunderstood.

I don't mind really. I'm ranked 59 and managed to drag it out this far, although I'm slightly put off that I ended up in 4th on GD in that group. I knew when I started that I wasn't going to make the World Cup in at least two, probably three, tries. I don't mind the results, the scores themselves aren't the fun of it, for me at least. Should have got some good KPB points as well so I should do well in the CoH and be strong in the next WC.

When are the rankings release, by the way?

by **The Macabees** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 7:37 am

Has there ever been a team that has qualified with a perfect record?

by **Valanora** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:22 am

I had a perfect qualifying record in one of the late 30 Cups. 14-0-0 I think it was.

by **Antarctistan** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 3:12 pm

One thing of note: I am putting my name out there to be the "junior host" for BoF 36....

TG me if you want to be the senior host so we can work some things out...

Hosting experience: Rugby League World Cup II...(ik its not much but im lookin to build)

(I will remove The Yorozuya if i end up hosting.)

by **Albundania** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 3:24 pm

What's going on with the CoH?

I've done it twice.
