Hi Everybody

I have been looking around the forum but can"t find the structure for the Home Nations, it may well have been posted and I might just be being a muppet.

What is the structure please and as there are 4 players in the team are there heads up medal matches and what happens if it is a draw?

Trying to form team tactics without knowing this is hard :-)

Thanks Paulie.

I now have a fool proof strategy, that will ensure victory (not sure who for though lol)

Surely this would mean there would be no point in the HU  matches?! :p

Aha...you have spotted my cunning plan.

I"m on record as being against HU matches deciding the medal positions.

By all means have them if you want but they should be points scoring like the STTs and not the overall deciding factor.

However, in the event that the HU matches go 2-2 then surely points should be the deciding factor for medals?

2-2 should equal captains choice Hu battle!!!
Epic viewing and pressure

Stu vs Carl....

[Fatcatstu]

I"m fairly sure I could even manage to put Carl on tilt eventually :p

[s4ooter]

Nah I meant captain picks a player!?!

Don"t need to be tilted...

Did I ever tell you I lost a HU  at WCOAP with a 29-1 chip lead!! Just ask team Canada

paulie i went to player briefing link you put up and it says top  2 teams play h/u for gold/silver  and 3rd /4th  play h/u for bronze

I know...the question was..."What if the HU are 2-2...Who gets the Gold?"

My answer was my opinion that the team (of the two) with the most points. I am sure APAT will have other ideas.

I"m not in favour of HU matches deciding medal positions...I would much prefer a simple "most points = Gold" system.

You know...like the Premier League...you win the most games, you finish top..you"re the best.

Under the current system, the much better team who have a monster points lead having won every STT could have Gold snatched from them because they lost by a single HU match.

That just doesn"t sit right with me.

Not for the first time I agree with Paulie here. I think we are both in a minority though and the heads up matches make for a great finish from a spectators point of view. As a player I would rather most points take it.
