Following the message I received, I registered but, as with the previous edition, I noticed that the cup was planned for a much larger number of clubs than were potentially involved.
The list of "Cercle members" is 358
#ranking?type=legends
a number of which have been inactive for some time.
So why plan a 'river' cup with 512 places? Look for the mistake!
The list of participants will be completed on the basis of obscure criteria.
This cup should be limited to the first 256 registrants.
Or if it's for 512, why call it the Circle of Legends Cup?
Entries are accepted until 29 November and the season ends on 2 January, so I'd be very, very surprised if this cup ended before the end of the season by starting at the 1/256th final.
At the moment, 150 people have signed up, which isn't bad, but I'm not even sure we'll get to 256.

Rich problems 😂

On a more serious note, and as you pointed out, there are more than 256 clubs in the circle. And even though some have been inactive for a long time, I imagine the cup was set up to be able to accommodate all members if everyone decided to join. And the next value is 512.

Now you raise an interesting question. Why not send an invitation via notification to all the members of the circle at the start of the season to confirm their participation or not? That way, if it's possible, the cup could be configured according to everyone's actual attendance record.

We have to leave it like that last time it was shaved and many clubs could not participate although they had their place, in the end the inactive clubs will be out in the first round is not a scandal either.

Please leave the inactive ones I could spend more than one round like that 😁😁😁🍾🍾🍾

So that's what I'm saying, if there are 358 potential registrants, we only expect 256 to sign up and we'll start when 256 have done so, and if there aren't enough by the deadline, we'll top up.
Otherwise, what's the point of pre-registration for 3 weeks? ?????
And if it's set at 512 for reasons I don't know, we might as well immediately add the 358 (active or inactive) and complete with 154 clubs, for example the top 154 in the VF rankings (excluding those already in the 358),
Then there would be a 3-week registration phase that would be completely unnecessary.

It doesn't matter if the cup is thrown, it's all for the best.

Yes, I agree 100%. This predictability of 512 entries is inconsistent with the fact that the potential entries are 358 minus the inactive or those who have good reasons for not wanting to take part.
There's nothing 'legendary' about the Legends Cup, which could potentially be won by a club that isn't in the 358.
It reminds me of the Euroleague in basketball, which could (potentially, because surely not this season, given their level) be won by a team from Dubai.

The first 256 would have been perfect; in any case, all the "legends" don't necessarily connect any more, so it'll be pretty good if we get to that figure.

Already launched 😲

It's going to be complicated 🤭🤭🤭 #match?mid=6535596

He's finally going for a ride. Lol

the cup has already been thrown it's a miracle

After that, it's crazy to add 13 days of inactivity to this cup !!!!

Yep, but you'll always be a legend even if you don't play in this cup! ^^ ;)

On a more serious note, it's pretty utopian to create a cup like this without 512 legends" wanting to sign up, and to launch it at 256... with inactive noobys!

You've got several clubs in the top VF "non-legends" ranking who potentially (on paper) deserved to play it by being "invited"!

Anyway... I've nearly finished the aperitif... soon the digeo ! ^^

Putting a vffa/ldc/vfmaster/is cup winner in the caption would seem logical to me.

The 10k points are very anecdotal

When you see that almost every match has an inactive "legendary" noob... well, why????

You might as well only do it with the first 128 registered players...

Have a good day ;)

Can be expanded to level 9, and if not enough 8.

The principle is nice, but as Jevin says, with the new points today, it's very complicated to go to 10.

Yes, so that's that ;)

Personally, I've always said that as soon as you reach level ten you're a legend, so the 10,000 pts thing is obsolete.

I'm waiting for 2

You dog!

Personally, I'm in favour of the 10,000pts to get there (although it's hot to get there now)!

But when you see that there are 358 "Legends" and that the cup has been launched with 256 clubs with a not insignificant number of newly registered and inactive "noobs"... it just doesn't seem right!

Personally, I can just imagine the 2 'Legends' clubs having to play each other in the first round, while all around them there are 6 clubs 'banging' 'noobs'!

Anyway, it seems to me that I said the same thing in season 140... and I'll probably say the same thing in season 148... I'm not saying that it's bad, but I think there are ways of 'improving' or 'restricting' access to this cup.

ps: It also seems to me that there was some grumbling when Adrimax won it (I say it seems to me because season 136 is far, far away for me)... but if that's the reason why non-Legends clubs in the VF ranking can no longer take part, well, that's very... well, how shall I put it... in short, I'll leave you to find the words... you might as well play against the aforementioned 'noobs', I grant you!

ps2 : My thoughts go out to all those who were affected, directly or indirectly, by today's fateful anniversary.

When you see that some legends quit the game years ago... it makes me smile personally.
There are the living legends and the dead ones...?

Personally, when I see that in almost 3 years I've collected 2200 points (by being very active)

Even at 250 points per season (which is about what a top 10 does) you'd need 40 now, which is about 6-7 years, it doesn't make sense 🤣

I hope you're patient Ced ^^

In terms of content, it's a very good cut, well thought out... but in terms of form, I think there's room for improvement!

Personally, I've never played the points but since 2011... I've only got 6622pts... and I don't want to play it... but courage to all those who want to play it ^^.

It used to be a lot easier to win 10pts a game for many years.
After all, playing a game for 5, 10 or 17 years doesn't necessarily make you a legend (or a vegetable).

Each edition; the same squeaks.
Aymeric wanted to honour and/or thank the oldest players of HIS game. Full stop.

The name is just a name, it could have been called "the old-timers", "the old-timers", "the boomers", etc.......... it was all the same.

The criterion is just another criterion; but like all criteria, it is necessarily arbitrary.

Now, if we start making exceptions (whatever the cut in fact, legend, vfifa, etc........) to satisfy ouin ouin 1 and 2 because they're not invited, it inevitably loses its substance.

The only downside is that we should have stopped at the first 128, which would have avoided the bogus afk. But it's already better than the previous cup. Maybe until the next one.

Yep Marcus... if a 'manual' addition has to be made to the cup because the 256 clubs haven't entered... well, we might as well 'reserve' it for the first 128 to enter!

But afterwards, for those who are "Legends" and are not Lucky Luck's first cousins...

Anyway, it's hard to please everyone while trying to do the right thing (yes, I know, I'm contradicting myself a bit by saying that, but it's the truth)... you have to be open-minded to assimilate all the ways of thinking of your opponents (which I am ^^).

The problem is that those who aren't legends are still going to complain and those who aren't in the cup will complain too.
C'est compliqué privilégier les afk niveau 10 si il y en a au pire

No, Kiki, those who aren't Legends aren't complaining!
I'm the one who thinks the system is utopian!
In the 1st season, "non-Legendary" clubs were added and all it took was for one of them to win, and then (I think) it was total chaos for this cup ^^.

In short, instead of adding "noobs" to add to the 256 clubs... we might as well just take the 128 "Legends" who first entered, don't you think?

Yes, Blagoje, I think of him when I say that ;)

It's unbelievable that some "Legends" have been knocked off their feet by a non-"Legend"... hence the idea of putting "noobs" in the first place to spare the so-called "Legends"!

He only beat me 1-0, that's not infamous, either. 😁

I know, Blagoje, there's nothing slanderous about what I'm saying!

But it's the "result" that I want to highlight...

In the 1st season, instead of putting in "noobs", "good" VF or even cu VF ranking clubs were included... then Adrimax won, what the hell did he not do, the idiot!? ^^ (look at the second degree Adri please ;) )

From then on, there was a lot of grumbling, "he's gone mad", "he's not a Legend", "this isn't normal"... in short... those who think they're "Legends" have had it rough (in the 1st degree^^)...

As a result, A45 was caught at his own game... well, he preferred to put in 'noobs' rather than top VF Rankings because they weren't 'Legends'... except that 'noobs' aren't 'Legends' either... so it's a case of the snake biting its own tail!

So we might as well only include the first 128 people to sign up!

FC Touristes [~CP~]

Ok, he's not a Legend... but he did win the LdC 2 seasons ago... so he's more of a legend than most of us ;)

the problem here is that the legends or so-called elders are having a shit reading you

in spite of that i still agree with brutus, let's put the cup at 128clubs and stop using the name "legends" let's use "les anciens de vf" which is more of a reality with the stars

en outre la coupe des étoiles ca peut être pas mal aussi

It's all Adrimax's fault... and that's that! ^^

For me, the best thing is to put all the level 10s in the cup and fill it to 256.
The problem isn't that adrimax won the 1st edition with a team worthy of the name, I would have beaten him if I'd had the chance to meet him (humour), the problem is the title of the cup and above all the number of points needed to take part 10,000.
With this number of points, we consider that a level 10 5000 points is not a legend, whereas on his account it says level 10 legend.
By integrating all the levels 10 in the cup it would be necessary that 5000 pts for integrated and thus accessible to much more clubs

Toxicity, that's one of the buzzwords. 😂

Otherwise I never said the points system was good, but you can't go back. So crying about it is pointless.

I just said what A45 wanted when he created his cup. From the outset it should have been limited to 128, and if, as the editions go on, you see that it's sticking, 256. Except that he threw in an inordinate number of participants because he mismanaged the thing (as usual) and it all went wrong (as usual).

Brutus' phrase about satisfying everyone shows where the problem lies; in understanding in this case.
When you throw a cup and say that it's for such and such a type of manager, you deliberately and necessarily exclude all the others, you also deliberately exclude the possibility of satisfying everyone.
That's not the aim, the stated aim from the outset is to satisfy only a minority.
And since jealousy and whining are two national sports in this country............

After that, you can have your own opinions and arguments; I'm sure that A45 will read them with the greatest attention in 2042.

Badgers are beautiful 😁😁😁
