We'll be doing UEFA Nations league, weekend matches.


What to do
-----------

Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away? In any case:
remember that it's single-leg, and a draw qualifies the team with the X
on its side.

*Home*
- Before Wednesday 2024-10-09, 23:59 GMT
- Pick one team from each of the two matches.

*Away*
- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked his
teams) and before kickoff of the first match
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he hasn't
picked any team, you have free choice)
- Their opponents will represent your opponent

*ATTENTION: NEW RULE*: If the away player doesn't pick any team before
his/her deadline, the home player will be represented by the team that
achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.
If the home player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the away
player can pick two teams (one from each match), and he/she will be
represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her
two picked teams.. If nobody picks a team, teams are assigned
randomly.)"


Semifinals:

Fry me! Provably unbalanced matches.

If I _really_ have to pick... well, Serbia.

(No ill feelings, Doc. I mean, not towards you!)

You could have avoided finishing last in Tier 1 and get a more favorable

Of course I meant by beating you in the quarter-final.

Hm...I think this pick came after Belarus-Northern Ireland had already
concluded. It ended 0-0, so in any case you would have lost, but Werner
gets assigned his best outcome anyway.

I picked on Thursday, but it didn't show up until Saturday. It was
probably because of the problems with eternal september.

So the correct result is a 0-0 draw.

Unfortunately, there is no way to verify this, so the official UPT
result remains Werner-Mark 2-0. Sorry :-/

However, to dispel the impression that I am out to get Mark UPTFC, I
will make sure that in the next UPT season, in one of Mark's home
matches (randomly chosen), he will get a favorable set of matches to
choose from.

Surely you wouldn't suspect that a fair and impartial gamemaster would
do anything that challenges the integrity of the game? I said that the
favorable match will be randomly chosen[*], and I intend to stand by
that!
