UK and Ireland Home Internationals
« on: August 20, 2013, 09:44:17 AM »
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 :-)

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.

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?

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.
