I'm going to post details of the new system I'm developing for U21 for non-IRCers and IRCers when I'm not online to use, any non-CH-like input will be appreciated.

You mean like in the first Track and Field championship, where one could distribute a number of points for several ... gah, here I lack the term... skills required to win? And that depending on how you decide, you are more or less likely to win? Do I understand this correctly?

Sort of.
Currently there are 5 skills you can put skill points into. You gain skill points by how well you did last cup 1 for group stage, 2 for second round, 3 quarters, 4 4th, 5 3rd, 6 2nd and 7 for 1st. Along with a capped number of points for X RPs.

Interesting or overly complicated I haven't decided yet. I've added in a penalty for sticking all your skill points in one skill to promoted balanced teams and stop uber-Rejising.

Ahh yes, but I will translate if for everyone :P
Always on the small thicknesses! (if i am correct)
I think this is pretty interesting though from what I have read so far. How long until you think it will be ready for testing on here?

We have a winner!
Well I'm writing a group sheet, I'll probably do some testing with that then copy it 8 times add a group drawer and results sheet, make the sorter and the knockout sheet.

Group sheet is nearly finished, I've made a few changes from the old sheet. That one had a long formula in a cell, this one has it split into lots of cells so I can easily modify it, all the variables have their own cells. To all those writing scorinators in Excel this is a very good idea. I know I've designed so many.

Nope:It's something like: Always against the small and thick ones!

Group sheet finished and copied. At this rate I could probably start the next U21 after the WC Finals. Seeing their are no longer ranking numbers or seeds I'm going to remove the 8 seeds in their own group rule and make a truly random draw, should shake things up a bit.

All 868Kbs of new sheets have been written, just need to test for bugs and balance.

As I'm sure some of you are aware the way I generate results has changed little since WC3. You have a defence number and if a random number is higher than it you just let in a goal. This defence/random number check is also known as an "attack". In WC3 I change the game from dice to rankings based on the record in the past 2 cups. The higher your rank the higher your defence number.
The new system uses the same defence number/attack system.
Old U21
Attacks were fixed at 12 and 3 more for extra time.
New U21
Attacks are a variable, effected by Attacking and Defending. Attacking increasing yours and Defending decreasing your opponents.
Old U21
Defence number was constant for all attacks.
New U21
Stamina drain will slowly reduce your defence with each attack. Spending points on Stamina will lower the reduction.
Old U21
Ranking increased your defence number. Well good ranking :)
New U21
Keeping increases your defence number with Shooting decreasing your opponents
