Goal Legacy Official Championship

how about if its a draw, the winner goes to the away team for the away goal advantage. Sounds really cool but l think just choosing a different game and removing the champions status seems a little messy. Because a draw away from home would be just as bad as loosing. And lf the game is the last one of the day then people could have been watching the game where the champion is being chosen but not even know it as they'd have to gain the status retroactively.

Sounds interesting.

Instead of making the winner of the game involving first goal as the inaugural champion, I have two other proposals:

1. Winner of the game that is the most interesting fixture of the weekend (sum of the league positions of the teams is the least among the fixtures)
2. The team which wins with the highest goal difference (if tied on GD, then goals scored in that game; if tied on goals scored, then league position)

My two cents.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, all of you have made good points. Here are my thoughts:

1) In the event of draws, we'll use the same rules as boxing. Essentially the Champion has the advantage, so to lose the championship belt the Champ has to be defeated by the challenger.

2) Of course the next logical question is what if there is a draw in the very first game? I personally think in that case the winner is the team who scored the first goal (because that first goal is what made it the championship game in the first place). Anyway as time passes we'll be able to create a nice and clear rule book for the Championship, this will be a work in progress.

3) I understand your requests regarding choosing an interesting game and starting from there but I feel the belt will gain a certain level of unpredictability and excitement if we allow it to be a random process. Especially since it is very likely that the belt will find it's way into the hands of a strong team eventually considering the current rules.

4) Keep in mind that any issues with the process of choosing the first game will disappear on the next matchday because the rules will be much simpler and easier to follow after that.

I hope you all agree with me on this or at least give it a chance to start with. If it doesn't succeed we can start over and try different rules.

Anyway, anyone who wants to be in charge of the EPL belt please say so, since I will handle La Liga and M99 will handle Seria A. Of course more than one person can collaborate to this process since after all these teams will be the mighty champions of GL and will be our representatives in the football world

Why not begin with the match where most goals were scored in said league ?

If it somehow ends in a draw , choose the next one with most goals scored . Can't be the 2 matches from the same league who had most goals scored will be draws and just for this once , ffs . Then go on from there.

And i think Bundesliga should be included .

Good idea

But problem with that is we don't know which game is the championship game until all the games are over. I like the first goal rule because as soon as the first goal is scored we will all know which game will be for the championship that matchday.

Remember the rules for choosing the first game is just a one time thing, after the first matchday this will be much easier to follow.

Bundesliga is a good league but the problem is only like 5 people on GL actually watch it week in week out.

I think it's best if we wait and see if this idea is successful with the popular leagues first, then we can consider expansion.

In all honesty , i don't think that's an issue for just this once.. Since we didn't have this before , all of them should have a good chance , not just minutes. Your idea is nice btw , it was just my opinion that the game with most goals would be a better base to choose from and begin with. This way all games will become much more interesting too ; we won't know which team is going to be and it should keep the whole thing fresh compared to just the quickest goal . You have to give it attention imo , first goal seems lacklusture and the excitement will fade off soon (even if this is just for this one). Waiting to see the outcome of all games , should be more interesting anyway and we will have a much more interesting GL champ to be challenged next week , given the game they won was a really good one.

As for the rest about Bundesliga , you're probably right .

You have a very good point there tbh.

If two more people agree with you I'm prepared to change the current set up to most goals scored.

However I still have my doubts regarding the possibility of two games having the same score, although we could use quickest goal as the tie breaker in that case.

yeah , in this case quickest goal could come in handy .

#Solution ?

in general , i like the whole thing , however it pans out. Just wanted to help a bit.

Thanks man, your suggestions were very helpful

Anyway if more people agree with Dante's suggestion about most goals instead of first goal please say so. If it's popular we will use it. (first goal can be the tie breaker)

For me Crystal Pulis should already be crowned champions this week as they won the first game this matchday.

He has a very very valid point right there!

Think it would be pretty cool if the winner has its emblem holding a championship belt or something lol

I had no idea Palace were playing yesterday lmao.

Anyway we just want to get the ball rolling ffs, especially since a lot of games will be played at the same time tonight. It's a bit more fair actually.

How will you decide who is champion tonight Zeal? seeing as there's a lot of games.

Sorry haven't really kept up with everything.

No problem, basically the winner of the game with the most goals after tonight will be GL champ.

If the highest scoring game is a draw, whoever scored first is champ. If there are two games with the same score whoever scored the fastest goal and won their respective match is the champ.

After the champion is declared the championship must be defended every matchday. If the challenger beats the champ they get the belt. If it's a draw the champ keeps the belt since we all know WOOO to be the man WOO you have to beat the man WOOOO.

Think Liverpool will take this after beating Norwich 4-0 or 4-1.

ARSENAL SCORE THE FIRST GOAL OF THE NIGHT.

If they win the game and it has the most goals they will be champs.

Looking like Chelsea will take this round...

BAH GAWD CHELSEA HAS WON! THE EPL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONS! WHAT A MATCH THAT WAS KING!
