Nope. You could use a ddt file to ensure that a certain number of countries retained their players, and run the game on a small db as you dont need any players except the ones for their countries. It might be tough to predict all the qualifiers, but actually retaining players for certain countries might preference the game towards them anyway.

correct.

the ddt file is an excellent addon.

I have tested it with the english league and retain nation players for germany, france, italy and spain.

Yeah I know the DDT while I created one for my clan .
Just need to know if you can add manager at countries where the leagues are not selected from.
Just like to add it would be worthwile for just started longterm clans that still need human managers for their clan to let their organiser/host take part in this tournament. They can scout the newbies sort of during the tournament
Off course this is also for the longer existing clans, however I want 50% newbies in this tournament. I will start an info/application thread later today if anyone can let me know about the question earlier in this post. Also a good host/co-organisers are welcome. :thup:

I've tested it with San Marino and the Cook Islands :cool:

Actually the World Cup and or other Nations Cups could be a decent idea, and I wouldnt be opposed to hosting something like that myself one day a week or once a month or something. It can give people the feel for network play without the hassles of club management and as you can probably finish a World Cup in a session there would be something to play for. You could also just use the same save over and over again for different groups.

Yes. As long as there are more than 150 players in the db you can manage that country. I'd suggest using retain players on nations who are most likely to get to the World Cup, England, Spain, Brazil etc, and use a small db. I dont think speed would be an issue because its only gonna run about six weeks in game time anyway?

OK it will be a EURO 2004 game and I will use the retain countries option. But isn't that only working with EP4.1.3 ?

OK now I'm off for the Man U game and will be back with a post later tonight. People that wanna organize this with me can already post here. Already thanks for the help :thup:

Ok, I'm glad you think the WC/EC drop-in games could be a useful idea, but like many ideas, it will only be of long term use to this community if time is taken to organise it in a structured co-ordinated manner, off the top of my head this setup would require.

<UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>A list of hosts

<LI>Agreed days and times

<LI>A (sticky, possibly) thread to advertise the next game

<LI>An irc channel or other agreed method of comms

<LI> etc. etc.
</UL>

I think you need a list of all Clans that are known about and running succesfully.

These could then be linked to their indiviual threads for wanting players/reports.

Someone else suggested this a while ago, but can't remember who.

I also think that once a clan hits several achievments they should be given some extra status. Eg complete 1 season and be in existance for a month makes you a recognised clan.

If you complete 5 season And are in existance for 6 months then you get your clan at top of forum.

Part of the problem is that people do not know which clans are very succesful and which clans are run by people who wouldn't know how to even go about hosting.

For those who have never played the game before i think some guidleines would help in general behaviour, Click continue then chat, no viewing other people matches etc... These are the kind of things people need to know how to do before they join a long term game. You can either do this via a drop in game where people might need reminders or some other way.

Right my hands are freezing and I can't type much more so thats it for now folks.

Personally I think you could have waited, if its going to be an idea worth its salt, then like Deano says it need to be organised, and taken time over it.

I think we could have a series of games lined up over a month if enough people with experience are willing to commit to hosting it.

But whatever.....
