I'm putting this subject back on the table.

A new plague has been appearing for a few seasons now: we can have fun scheduling friendlies to choose when the cups are going to fall.

It seems to me that in the past the cuts were prioritised so as not to block the game and therefore cause the friendlies to be skipped.

It's great for clubs who want to play all the cups with just one team, and given that nothing has changed for several seasons, you'd imagine that it's allowed and they're quite right to take advantage of it.

But we end up with endless cups, I've just looked at all the league cups, and in the same round there are games on the 7th then the 8th, the 9th, the 10th...

I think that the cups should be fixed on the days, the aim of the management game being to "manage". If unfortunately you don't have the squad to play 3 cups and IEs, then you make a choice.

Then it penalises those who don't use this stratagem and kindly wait for the schedule without organising anything, telling themselves that they won't have time to play anything else, and who end up waiting 3, 4 or 5 days...

Imagine the same thing in the league: I go on holiday for a week, I play a week of friendlies and while I'm sunbathing the other clubs are waiting for me... it's a lunar phenomenon.

If I'm told that this is authorised, that it's a change wanted by the MDJ and that it's perfectly normal for everyone to be able to slow down the cups to fit in with their tennis training or their evening meal, then as a sign of protest I'm going to have fun organising 5 friendlies every time I pass a round of one of the cups just to paralyse VF 😏

**What do you think?

Maybe I'm a metro behind, but it seems to me that cup matches "overwhelm" friendly matches already scheduled for the same day.
What causes the delays are the league matches (although they don't happen at the start of the season) and the other cups, at which point the match in the next round is scheduled for the first available date on D+3 because a cup match won't overwrite a cup match that's already scheduled, which is quite logical but actually disruptive when it's an unofficial cup match.
I don't really know how IE matches work, but it seems to me that they are also overwritten like friendly matches.

In fact, official cup matches used to overwhelm all other matches

I've also created an improvement project on this subject.

It would be a good idea to block the dates for the various rounds of the OFFICIAL cups 🙂 they would become available when the Club is eliminated, and it would be up to each player to choose the competition they want, official or not.

You say: I see an IE in 3 days at 8pm, I click just to see who it is, or even if I've guessed who it is. In any case, the IE will blow up, and I'll be able to warn my friends. Unfortunately, that's what happened...

???? I admit I didn't understand, I'm probably not vicious enough

Firstly, I don't know how some people do it!
Secondly, for that to work, you'd have to be sure of qualifying for the next cup round
And thirdly, I don't see why we're warning our mates, as the match has already been skipped

Personally, as an admin, not as a user.
The less I have to do, the better off I am. Because the game runs smoothly, there are fewer bugs and less cheating or attempted cheating.
So if the official cups once again took priority over other matches, I'd be doubly satisfied (as an admin and as a user) 😉

I find it hard to understand the need to stage so many friendlies to delay a cup, but some people are twisted....especially in Languedoc!

Hou!!!!

More nonsense, with clever kids scheduling friendlies so that they don't have to play two cup games in a row, and everything has already been postponed..

Like Myforsans, I was convinced that official matches outweighed friendly matches, so I never asked myself the question... But if that's the case, Aymeric needs to do something about it as a matter of urgency, because that would leave the door wide open to all kinds of abuse..
Aymeric, if you're reading this... ^^

We did block a cup for your matches. I don't see any reason to complain about a manager adding 2 matches to play at his convenience. Especially since, in this case, anyone can do it

Perhaps the next cup round could be modified, which is always 3 days after the end of the group stages. Personally, when you have a B in training, it's a pain and I take advantage of this system, but without abuse, just for my rotation.

I've rearranged the LDC matches so that they're played over 2 days.

I imagine that everyone will be delighted to play on 14/02 at 8pm because some jokers have set up friendlies to avoid playing on the 10th :)

The next round won't be played until 14 actually

[The 1/16 LDC matches will be played on 14 and 15 February. Please pass the message on to your colleagues. Don't expect any exceptions

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!
There's going to be some women pulling faces 🤣

We don't all have 2 full 99ng and 50 endu teams, so we manage as best we can

If we follow this logic, once the cups are in the middle of the championship what will we do to allow those who only have one team to play?

Will we have to play friendlies between league games to finish up at the break? What about the following season?

It's a management game, and if you only have one team, that's your choice

For fuck's sake, it's the guys from the CP who are doing the damage!
The matches on the 12th are only (because of) them!
Bloody hell... the CP are iech ^^

Me complaining about it? You're the ones whining about guys trying to manage their schedules. Deck your a bit borderline as usual when we disagree with you 😉
