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.

FIFA Prize Tournament - Friday 11th May

This Friday we will be running our first FIFA tournament on the new forum set up. We have a brand new rankings system in place that I need to test out and would like the majority of the community to help. You can do that by simply entering the tournament on Friday.

Also to celebrate the launch of the new site we will be chucking in a prize or two via a random draw on Friday night. Again simply turn up, complete your games and you'll be entered into the draw to win a game or two.

Sign up will open at 7.30pm and we will kick it all off at 9pm. See you Friday.

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.

Lowes Tour champion in epic Finale

paullowes80 landed the Tour title after a ding dong battle with MarcusJonesy and deareststorm went down to the wire in the season finale at Semmock Golf Club.

The Welshman Jonesy may be left wondering what if after a terrible start to the first three events saw him way back, But after landing the Major at Sawgrass in event 4 he would end up the form player winning the next event and then placing in events six and seven, and those performances would see him lead the standings by 1 point going into the finale.

deareststorm was very consistent on the tour and was never out of the top four in any event and after landing Warrior Ridge in event seven, Storm threw his hat into the ring as he was only one point behind MarcusJonesy

paullowes80 won two of the first four events and had a healthy lead at the half way mark, but a slight dip in form saw his lead slip and he would be tied with @dearestorm one point behind MarcusJonesy with the Major to come.

The finale was an epic all three in contention shooting underpar and finishing in the top four. The Welshman Jonesy after some fine golf just missed out on joint third by one stroke allowing deareststorm to grab that spot and they would share joint second overall on the Tour with 42pts. paullowes80 carded a big score and even though it wasnt enough to land the Major it was enough to grab second and gain the points needed to land the title by a narrow margin of two points.

Now you're Gunna believe us, now you're gunna believe us...

The fans are that loud at Vicarage Road you can hear them chanting from the stadium all the way to the managers house in the North - East of Wales!

The "little" club from down south have been chanting they are going to win the league after 4 hard thought games. First up was deareststorm's club Spartak Moscow and the well fancied league favourites got battered on the counter and couldn't cope with Watfords pace. The game finished 3 - 1 to The Hornets. Spartak Moscow's coach was terrified of the Watford attack and "parked the bus". After a hard fought battle the game ended up all square at 2 - 2.

Next up for The Hornets was title contender niwintz who after a plucky start against Torino had climbed up the table into serious contention, but the Watford Manager took no prisoners and with Pereyra scoring 4 goals over the two respective fixtures Watford have turned themselves into serious Title contenders.

With 4 teams left to play one of them is this years surprise title contenders in Florentina and another is one of the most famous rivalries in Managerial history and local rivals West Ham.

Watford manager "i'm taking nothing for granted in this league, but i will say this... i will be looking to throw the hammer down and personally hand Chadji30 the wooden spoon".

Il Torino è un imbarazzo

The appointment of Big B 1970 has already turned sour with many pundits tip for promotion having a terrible start to the season, and the manager has been questioning the commitment of some of his team.

Big B left last seasons bottom club Valencia quite rightly under a cloud, and despite them rallying towards the end of the campaign, still finished bottom with the fans calling the manager "worse than Gary Neville". Torino had been free scoring under their last manager, despite having a leaky defence, so no-one expected them to rack up two goalless draws against niwintz and his Genoa team in the opening round. A steady start more than a disaster, but things got a lot worse in the next set of fixtures when Torino were soundly beaten by the unfancied Lazio. As their manager deareststorm danced an Irish jig at the haul of 6 points, the Torino Ultras vented their frustration, branding their team "an embarrassment." Big B's players will have a chance to redeem themselves in the cup however as they have drawn storms boys in the 2nd round.
