Liverpool England
02-07-2005, 06:24
This is the official signup thread for the Paul Dussis Memorial Cup 2. A new format will be in place for the PDMC; it has been changed to a 25-team competition. It is a club/nation competition now.
Eight nations, including Liverpool England, must send three teams each.
These three teams must comprise at least two club teams from the domestic league(s), and listed in order of team strength. The third team is up to the nation's FA. It could possibly be a lower-league club, or perhaps the national under-16s.
All matches will take place in Liverpool England. The league system has been scrapped.
The eight strongest teams (as listed; one from each nation) are in one "group", while the eight weaker teams are in a second. The eight remaining teams (that is, those chosen by the FAs) will form the last group, regardless of their strength.
The eight teams in each "group" will play a direct knockout round until we have the three group winners, who will then play in the Overall SemiFinals with the defending chmpions, who are given a bye past the group stage.
The semi-final leads to the final, where the team champion will be crowned.
A third-place playoff will also take place, but only for the benefit of the national section of the cup.
For each win, a team earns three points for the nation they are representing (even if they have foreigners on the team). For each loss, the nation they represent takes a 2 point deduction. The nation with the most points after the final/third-place playoff will be declared National Champions of the Paul Dussis Memorial Cup.
