Sports League poll

[Hockeynutville]

I really like the Maple-Taco Cup and I think it'd be even sweeter if we had more sports competitions like it but that last for a couple months like a real league. It doesn't necessarily have to be Soccer so let's see what everyone else might want to play.

[Kericia]

Soccer or hockey, because I know I could run those kind of leagues. I think a league's a good idea and I'd love to run it, unless you want to, of course. The reason I chose soccer for the Cup is that I figured it would draw the most participents, but I bet a lot of people would join a hockey league too.

[Hockeynutville]

We could always make it a joint effort. Just before I suggested one up, I thought I'd see what everyone would like to have as it's theme.

[Alfonia]

Tough one...

Soccer is the biggest sport in he world, and no other sport even comes close; however I reckon it's not that big in the USA and we have many americans here...

I don't understand how American Football and baseball works... With auto racing i don't really know what you mean, and the same thing goes for "football" (aussie rules? In that case, I don't understand it either)

I understand Rugby having played it at least a couple of times and all but i can't say it's my favourite sport.

Hockey was always "the other sport that you watch in the gaps between the football seasons" to me, but it's still entertaining, though i suspect it's the same problem that we face with american football; us northeners may have a passion for the sport, but what about the others around here? Oh well... I guess Americans and canadians make up 90% of the forum and of the "others" category At least I'm one...


Anyways... more soccer/football please

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Rugby. 6 nations is coming up too.

[Kericia]

bump!

[Hockeynutville]

Sorry, the regular football is supposed to be Canadian rules, not much different from American rules just usually we have higher scoring games based a little more on offence.

[Hockeynutville]

And remember, I just want to get a feel for what people would like to play. It won't necessarily be the sports that has the most votes in the end run. Most likely there will be another soccer one but much longer than just a small tournament. I would eventually like to start a Hockey one and I'm sure we'd get volunteers from Canada on this one. I'm not sure how USA rules football would work, then again, I've never pursued any info on football simulator leagues.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

I suppose soccer will win. To be honest i dont understand either Football or US football.

[Goldenloser2241]

I don't understand soccer at all and a bare and basic understanding of Football.

[Alfonia]

Don't understand soccer?

You have a ball and two feet, use the feet, along with your teammates' feet to put the ball in the correct goal. Don't go too rough on the opponents, keep the ball on the pitch, and make sure there always are two players of the opposite team in front of you while recieving a pass on their side of the pitch.... hmmm that pretty much sums it up:P

Seriously that's cool... I love soccer:D

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Germany 2006... makes me think we could have some kind of tournament that somehow relates to this event... hmmmm

[Hockeynutville]

That's sorta what we have now. I don't think we have enough people from enough different countries to have an effective world cup

[Ustania]

Cricket

[TheSensitiveNewAge]

I don't think anyone short of Douglas Adams understands that game. Can you explain please?

[Alfonia]

cricket is a cool sport, more understandable than baseball anyways...

What about handball?

[Ustania]

whats that like?

Cricket is a stupid game. Anything requiring meal breaks is silly.

[TheSensitiveNewAge]

A hockey tourney would be great, I could describe fights better than game plays and many Canadians would be interested too.

[Goldenloser2241]

So far baseball is beating rugby <3

[Hockeynutville]

Well I certainly think we should have another sim soccer league although instead of a short tournament that we have a full league that lasts maybe 30-40 games and have a best of 3 playoff round or something like that. Can we use the same program you used Kericia for something like that?

I've also looked in to finding something similar to host a 10KI-Canada hockey league but so far nothing that's free so if you know a good program we could use to do it, please contact me.

Also seeing as how US Football has been a popular choice I wouldn't be against hosting a national 10KI football league or something. I will look into it as well or if anyone else has a good suggestion for a program to use.

[Goldenloser2241]

Yea man good 16 games of football

[TheSensitiveNewAge]

I was fine with the soccer as is, perhaps it could have had a couple days between matches though?

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

yeah. If we want the RR to set up a gambling centre, and to get the Loan Sharks time to set up stall, we will really need a bigger build up between matches.

Could i please ask the organisers to hold off setting another one up until the current RR debate is over in the Co9. Plenty of reasons why....
