Its time to lace up your boots ladies and gentlemen. The FIFA 11 tournament is a go and some very interesting fixtures have been drawn up for those that entered. My thanks go out to all the competitors for such a varied set of team choices making my job much easier than it could have been.
We have a total of 26 entries which for the first round means 6 of you will automatically go through to the next rounds draw. The remaining 20 will be battling it out in a 1 vs 1 single match with a few minor rules to follow:
- If any competitor disconnects in the second half of the game they automatically forfeit the match.
- If there is any more than one disconnect from a single competitor at any time that person automatically forfeits the match.
- No Virtual Pros or created players are allowed.
- Matches are to be 5 minute halves
- If after 90 mins the match is drawn Extra Time is to be played
- If Extra Time results in a draw then penalties are played to decide the match
Now that the rules are out of the way we move onto the fixtures themselves. PSN IDs are in brackets where they differ from TSA counterparts and team selections are in italics:

Darn you Kitt_007 and Avril_14th, your teams were my top 2 picks and now one of them is going out early. Gutted ;-)
TwoJay
Haha! Kitt is actually my uncle, helped him register. Sorry mate ;)
BrendanCalls
HAHA, Betis were my top choice as well. They’re power up front is a big advantage and there’s a nice secret weapon hidden away in the squad as well
TwoJay
Oh really? Well I guess I gotta make sure my uncle knows all about it then!
Avril_14th
How’s about we don’t tell him what the secret weapon is?!?!
;)
TwoJay
Hehe, we already knew the secret weapon before this, no use now ;D Good luck btw! (:
R1MJAW
Awesome, a 1st round bye.
@ Roynaldo – both Mark0605 and brendancalls have Feyenoord … i assume they shouldn’t.
BrendanCalls
It has been noted, Ive emailled Roy about it, how we resolve it is unknown now
Roynaldo
Dam, was sure i had it down perfectly. Working on a fix asap.
Roynaldo
all sorted now.
stingraz

I’ve already beaten off 10 of my competitors by default!

Lfc-Gaz
Oops that wasn’t meant to be a reply. Also I’m number 13, you’re 15.
