Storm leads his Uruguay to the knockouts

We caught with storm shortly after the last game of the group tonight when Poland beat the favourites of the group Germany 8-1 , Storm said he was over the moon with his team the way they played in the groups stage but the hard work starts now in the knockout rounds he said his 2 strikers were absolutely brilliant and both got a far share of the goals but he said we need to tighten up the back line in next game if they are to go further in the World Cup .

Jaminator Takes Win as Storm Leads the Tour

Week 2 on the AG Tour proved to be a little tougher than the opening event the golfers at the AG Reboot Invitational found it difficult to break par. The steep sloping greens at Victory Village made it difficult to score birdies consistantly , and with some of the participants playing off an unforgiving handicap it was a challenging event.

@Dx I Jaminator put his poor opening week behind him and flew round the first 18 holes with a -4, which was matched by the impressive @deareststorm. It would prove to be a great foundation for the 2nd round and they wouldnt be caught, coming 1st and 2nd respectively. @Berty44 also went under par first time round with 71, but could only manage +2 on the next round. That not look a good score but in context was well above most of the field and secured him 3rd place for the week.

Xbox Ranking System Launched

If you haven't already noticed our new ranking system is now set up. You can have access via the Rankings tab at the top of the forum. On clicking that you will see that we already have a set up for FIFA 18. This can also extend to other single player games so we will be looking at those in the near future. Games such as TGC Golf, Rocket League etc etc.

Each link is pretty much self explanatory but ill give a summary each anyway.

• Rankings - This is total rankings for FIFA 18.This page will show (once more tournament are in) a full list of members and what you have achieved during the lifetime of this game on the site.
• Events - The rankings are calculated by the events which are added. So for example last Friday's tournament ha already been added. If you click each event then you can see how entered and what points they gained. There is also a matches tab which shows all games and scores played in that tournament.
• Matches - Again easy enough to understand. Is a full list of matches for FIFA 18. You can also you the various filters to customise your search.
• Teams - This will be used at a later date. We will be looking to add teams to the rankings so for things like 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3 Rocket League or Pro Cubs 2 vs 2.

Like I said its very much a work in progress but initial thoughts from my point of view are its easy enough to use and will be a decent addition to the site. It will not but used for league games in the near future however I am looking at an import from our leagues into it so hopefully that can be done.

If you have any questions then please do ask.

Jaminator lands Major prize on debut

Dx I Jaminator made a dream start on his debut to the AG Tour by landing the Major in the season finale.

12 Stood their ground as they went in search for Major glory at Semmock Golf Club where only 5 would finish under par.

Red Rhinoceros never got going and from the first tee he struggled through both rounds to end +15, The Irishman Berty44 who was fancied by a few just couldnt get his game together and would labour home on +10, a round to forget.

TheAshCohen09 lost all chance with a 78 in round, and even after a decent final round of 72 it wasnt enough and he would finish +8. Ahead of him with +7 were Big B 1970 and also Toffduff. Big B 1970 will left wondering what if after a cracking first round of 68 saw him joint third, but a disaster in his final round saw him slip away quickly. Toffduff was consistant with rounds of 74 and 75 but by his standards it wasnt good enough,

ImmortalTanz and Jobi Juan would shoot identical scores in their first and second rounds to finish tied on +3. The tour welcomed back wellsa27 and even by his own words of a rusty event he looked like he still had the game to compete next season finishing 5th on -2.

MarcusJonesy just missed out on third by one stroke, The Welshman playing two solid rounds of golf as he chased a second Major of the season but fourth spot was his reward. Just ahead of him was Ryder cup team mate deareststorm. Despite some in and out form this season the man from Northern Ireland produced some top golf to finish third on -6.

Up top saw a battle as paullowes80 went low in both rounds with a 64 and 65 to end on -13, many thought that he would claim the Major with that effort. However the debutant Dx I Jaminator had other ideas a massive first round of 60 set the bar and despite a 68 in the final round still had enough to land the spoils by 1 stroke.
