Hi everyone,

Crew Wolves of Balkan and Balkan OSM Community are celebrating their second anniversary. Regarding this we would love to organize two separate tournaments Balkan Winter Cup and Balkan Crew Championship.

Balkan OSM Community consists of managers from 8 countries: Croatia , Serbia , Slovenia , Bosnia & Herzegovina , Montenegro , North Macedonia , Albania and Kosovo .
Balkan Winter Cup would be an individual championship of Balkan where 24-48 of the best managers from Balkan would participate for the title of the best manager of Balkan. The competition would be played in a lower tier league of 24 teams (If there would be more than 48 managers applied then we would have 2 semi-final leagues and then the final league in which top 12 managers from each semi-final league would participate). The tournament would be played by the following rules:

Rules:
• No training camps
• No instant sales (penalty -1 point)
• Buying players from other manager is not allowed (penalty -2 points)
• Boss coin compensation will be turned off
• Friendly games against other managers are not allowed (penalty -2 points)
• 6 secret treinings allowed

More details can be seen on the following link: https://forum.onlinesoccermanager.com/topic/47259/balkan-winter-cup-individual-championship-of-balkan/2
(I'm appologise for opening that topic prematurely, I honestly didn't know what was the procedure for creating a tournament.)

The tournament would be played in January and February.

Begining in spring (April, May & June) we would like to commemorate the second anniversary of the Balkan OSM Community by organizing the Balkan Crew Championship. The BCC would be organised by battlepedia rules and as exampled by the WNT and it would give us the Crew Champions of Balkan.

I would like to add that we understand the problem of numerous topics being introduced and closed. We would like to suggest opening one topic named Balkan OSM Community (or any similar version) where we could post these tournaments yearly and organize friendly battles between the Balkan crews because vast majority of people don't know how to use the OSM forum and by introducing them to this topic we would allow them to begin using the forum and later on activate on all the other relevant topics. Our community on one of the social networks gathers more than 300 managers from Balkan only 5-10 of which actively use the forum. We believe that by doing that we would significantly improve that number.

Thank you for your time and I'm looking forward to your replies.

Best regards,
Ivan

Hello Ivan. Greetings to you, to your Crew members and to the Balkan community!
On behalf of our Community Management Team, I'm very pleased to announce you that the World forum is more than happy to welcome you and become the host of one of your suggested Balkan events.
After some discussion we've decided that for starters we should give it a try with your individual competition and if everything runs smoothly then we could later on decide upon your second suggestion for a Crew competition.
As stated on the opening post of this topic , since the 1st of August 2017, managers are allowed to organise any kind of event (battles included) as long as the rules are 100% clear from the beginning and none of them goes against the OSM Terms!
Now about the Individual competition Ivan, we can re-open the topic you had already created but only if you read carefully and agree upon certain conditions and specific suggestions to avoid any kind of spamming on it.
Most important condition : Only the English language is to be used for any of your posts. You can understand that since it is the International Forum.
Forum Rules must be read carefully and followed from each and every one of the participants!
The new topic has to promote some kind of discussion about the actual event and friendly interaction , meaning that posts with some banter/teasing among participants are more than welcome at any times.
Any kind of "junk" posts must be reduced at maximum level. One good example is the flood/SPAM caused by all posts signing up for events. We suggest that you create an external file (google docs for example) where all users have to sign up by adding their manager name, sign up date and any other info you may think it's needed. On the topic you may share only the link to this doc!
Screenshots of Results/Standings can be posted once in a while, surely not on a daily basis, unless it's a screenshot able to promote some creative discussion.

Ooopss, almost forgot. I believe that you already know by now that FYROM has a new name: North Macedonia. In order not to hurt anyone's feelings, please adjust the name in your posts.

What we need from you now, before we open your official event topic, is to let us know if every single one of the above conditions are fully understood by all of you and if you gentlemen agree to accept and follow them throughout the whole event.
So please feel free to ask as many questions you want to make sure that your Balkan competition will run smoothly and become a successful one !

ENGLISH COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT TEAM

@King_Jamiu_10 Thank you for your response and the news you came with. We understand everything and we accept all the stated terms.
As for spamming and activity we will do our best to restrict as much as we can, but as you alredy know there are, and always will be people who might do it anyways.
As for one of the countries names, as you can see i have corrected myself in this topic, I was writing the first one in a very late hour and mistakes tend to happen then.
As for registration posts, I understand. I will put a google doc in the next post and thats where players will be able to register.

Thank you once again for approving our competiton and no, I will not hesitate to ask any questions in order for everything to go smoothly.

Best regards,
Ivan

SUPERNOVA 8

@IvanAndal Good evening Ivan . Hope you are doing well. I would like to point out to you the importance of a good preparation for your upcoming event. Meaning that more than 24 hours have passed already from the moment we announced to you that the Individual Balkan competition was approved but so far neither you none any other manager interested on this event has posted a single question. Don't you guys have any question at all to make? Nothing needs to be clarified for you? Are you positive that every condition was completely understood? Have the rest of the organizers and participants been informed about this topic and the discussion we expect to take place in here before we re-open the official topic for this event? Because believe me , the more questions you get to ask to us now ( not just you personally ) the less miscommunication and misunderstandings you guys will have during the actual competition. What do you think about it Ivan ?

IvanAndal

@SUPERNOVA-8 iI would say that I understand everything well. Currently nothing I could ask comes to mind. Would you maybe like me to write the new text which i would like to publish there so that you could revise it and say if it is apropriate ? I don't really have anything else to start a disussion with
I saw some flaws in the meantime so I'd like to make it more clear.

IvanAndal

@SUPERNOVA-8 @King_Jamiu_10 Ok, something popped up, I have one question.
A few manager outside of Balkan have contacted them wanting to play in this competition. My answer was this: "Absolutely, we would be honoured, but since it would be a competiton for the Champion of Balkan, I would like to give advantage to the players from Balkan who apply for it and if they meet the requiered criteria. And if there are still vacanicies after they apply you would get in.
Also, as I alredy said we are loking for the Champion of Balkan, so it obviously has to be a person who has Balkan nationality, that beeing said, in case you win the league you would be the competition winner, but best placed player from Balkan would be the Champion of Balkan."
Is that OK ?

Also, I would like the criteria for registration to be the following:
Manager can register if he meets either one of these two criteria:
A) At least 35.000 manager points on his best slot.
B) At least 350 battle points.

This would ensure that we have a quality competition. Do you find it ok ?

Hello Ivan !
To reply to your first question.
We believe it is best to stick to your original idea of a strictly Balkan Competition looking out for the Balkan Champion manager. This way the World Forum gives the space and opportunity to countries/communities that don't have their own forum ( like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia ) to meet and interact via this new event. So please, only Balkan Community's members are to sign up for this competition.

Also, I would like the criteria for registration to be the following:
Manager can register if he meets either one of these two criteria:
A) At least 35.000 manager points on his best slot.
B) At least 350 battle points.
This would ensure that we have a quality competition. Do you find it ok ?

About your question on the rest of the criteria.
It is your idea of an event my friend , your design , so it is basically up to you to decide upon them.

If you would like to take some advice then we think it would help you out to set a certain date/deadline for the sign-ups and also set a limit on the number of the participants.
In case you get a lot more sign-ups, but not enough of them for a design with more participants, then you should set some filtering rules that can be based on each manager's total amount of MPs ( Manager Points ) or total BPs ( Battle Points ).

Keep in mind though ( talking about the quality part ) that a manager with few MPs is not necessarily a bad manager. Because he simply may have joined recently or maybe he is just playing for fun and not for gathering loads of MPs.

IvanAndal

@SUPERNOVA-8 Ok, then we will restrict the competition to Balkan players only.

I planned to sort player by their score which would be the result of addition of manager points and battle points multiplied by 100.

For example:

Name: xy
Nationality: ex. Croatian
MP: 45.000
BP: 350
Score: 45.000 + (350 x 100) = 80.000
This would be an equation added to a excel spredsheet and managers who would register would be requiered to put in their name, nationality, manager points and battle points and they would automaticly see their score.

As for managers who are good but don't have many bp or mp, I agree, but I don't see a way to recognise them by their statistics. I would like to stick with bp and mp
Does this seem ok or is it maybe too complicated ?

I would like to limit the registration period to 15.12.2019. and start the league on 20.12.2019. but it all depends on when will the topic be unlocked and I will be able to edit it.

Like I said on my previous post. These criteria are really up to you to decide them Ivan. If you feel this way will help you best to get the number of participants you wish your event to have , then go for it mate.

Although ( just an opinion again ) I think your sign-up form should be as simple as possible and easy to use by every interested Balkan manager. For example, have you heard of the Google forms? A Google form may be the better sign-up system. Plain and simple , plus it secures the shared data. Nobody will be able to remove another manager's sign-up from there.
But of course in the end you must use whatever suits you best.

As for managers who are good but don't have many bp or mp, I agree, but I don't see a way to recognise them by their statistics. I would like to stick with bp and mp
Does this seem ok or is it maybe too complicated ?

Oh come on now, surely you are able to recognize a strong manager just by looking at his game profile's winning ratio from his match statistics. But no problem, feel free to decide the final filters for your event.

I would like to limit the registration period to 15.12.2019. and start the league on 20.12.2019. but it all depends on when will the topic be unlocked and I will be able to edit it.

That's great! You have plenty of time, no worries. And we will let you know soon about it.

P.S. Start with your preparation on the changes you wish to make on your own topic please, like keep some notes, because we will have to help you with our Moderation tools to edit it as soon as we re-open it.

IvanAndal

@SUPERNOVA-8 thank you. I will write everything down and will only need to copy paste and edit it a bit on the post. No worries, it will all be ready by sunday.

IvanAndal

@SUPERNOVA-8 @King_Jamiu_10 I have rewriten the text with more detailed and specific information:

Balkan Winter Cup – Individual Championship of Balkan

Balkan OSM Community is organizing what we hope will be the first of many Individual Championships of Balkan.

What is Balkan OSM Community? We are a group of 120+ active and enthusiastic OSM managers from the Balkan region. We have formed 5 crews; Wolves of Balkan, Gladiators of Balkan, Lions of Balkan, Gods of Balkan & Sharks of Balkan. We act together, communicate daily and work on improving the reputation of Balkan countries in the world of OSM.

Championship organization:

Registration deadline: December 15th 2019.

Tournament start date: December 20th 2019.

Managers from the following countries can apply: Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo and Bulgaria.

Requirements for registration: at least 35.000 manager points or at least 350 battle points

The championship will be played in a 24 team league format.
Tournament league: English 4th Division

If there will be more than 24 and less than 48 (or more than 48) applied managers the ones with the most manager points and battle points will be selected by the following equation:
Manager score = Manager points + (Battle points x 100)

Manager score will be the decisive factor in assigning teams in the league. Principle will be the following: Manager with the best manager score is assigned to an obj 1 team etc.

The winner of the cup and The Champion of Balkan will be the player who wins the league (the final results will be published on this topic after we calculate the negative points (if any).

Rules:
• No training camps
• No instant sales (penalty -1 point)

CrewCup World:

This is how it works:

We play with 5 crews, 4 managers each in a big competition. At the start the teams will de divided on goal and squad value.

Example (I know it is not up to date )

CC world pakketjes paint.jpg

General rules:

• Its the crews own responsibility to know the rules
• Talentcrews can't play in the same league as the main crew. Every division will have a A and B except for the first division. If a talent crew wins the second division they can't promote to the first division if the main crew is in the first division, promotion will go to the next crew
• We play without cup, training camps, timers and BC compensation
• We play with secret trainings (6x), 4 prep-days and transfers

Friendlies:

• Friendlies are only allowed between crewmates

Transfers:
• Transfers on the opening day: You can list your players immediately, buying players is allowed after the first transfer engine
• Buying players from other crews is not allowed
• You can transfer every player once within the crew. The transfer have to be above value. After that you can sell it to the transfer engine
• If there is a CPU in your league, you can buy and sell players after the 7th matchday

Games against crewmates:

•you may arrange the game, but your starting line up have to be on the correct position. If this is not possible due to injuries/suspensions you have to provide a screenshot of your team and doctor before the simulation.
Note: this not goes for the substitutions

Opening of the league:

•Own crew first is strictly forbidden!!! There is only 1 correct way to invite the managers

Preparation: add all the managers of your league to your friendslist
2 .Open the league with the correct settings (Without Timers, BC compensation, Cup and Training Camps)
Go to your friends list, select invite managers. Select the 19 other managers and click on invite. This way all the managers of all the crews receives the invite on the same time
• Open the league between 23.30 - 0.30 Dutch server time
• Leaguename: CrewCup #2: Divisionname, e.g.. Crew Cup #2: Division 2A

Leaving the crew/replacements:

• A manager who leaves the crew have to be back in the crew before the league ends.
• Replacements are possible but will cost a penalty. Replacement is NOT possible if the manager gets a lock from GB. The points for that team will be set on 0. If the point are in the minus, that score will count
• If a manager resigns, the CPU will count as active player, penalties made by the CPU team will be held accounted to the crew score

For the scoring we will use the calculation sheet. This is an proven sheet, this way I can make an all time ranking

• Start points: 1000
• Competition points: amount *15
• Goal: places above or under goal *100
• Goal bonus: 200 points for goal

If the sheet points are equal, we take a look at the total gained competition points of the crews. Is this the same the crew with the highest individual position will be placed above the other crew.

For the competitions the following coefficients are calculated:

1st division: 200%
2nd division: 150%
3rd division: 100%
4th division: 80%
5th division: 60%

Promotion / Relegation:

1st division: 2 relegation's
2nd division: 2 promotions, 4 relegation's (champion of 2A and 2B will promote, #4 and 5 of both leagues will go to the 3rd division)
3rd division: 4 promotions, 4 relegation's (champion and #2 of 3A and 3B will promote, #4 and #5 will relegate to the 4th division)
4th division: 4 promotions, amount of 4th divisions will depend of the crew entries

Penalties:

All errors have to be reported within 48 hours and with a full screen screenshot
All penalties will be calculated with the competition coefficient. This goes automatically, please only enter the penalty like stated below in the scorings sheet

o Line up to late: 200 points
o Opening the league to late: 250 points
o Opening the league wrong: 200 points
o Taking the wrong team : 250 points
o Own crew first: 500 points (provide screenshot that you have to request access wile other teams are already taken)
o Not sending invitations to the other crews: 300 points
o Replacement: 500 points
o crewless manager on the end of the competition: 1000 points
o Friendlies against another crew: 150 points
o Line up mistakes in games against own crew: 250 points
o Transfer mistakes 1st and 2nd mistake, 300 points, 3rd and 4th mistake 500 points, 5th and more 1000 points each
Direct sales are forbidden and will count as a transfer error.

Note: In order to deal with a penaltie there has to be prove of it with a screenshot.
Disclaimer: The organization can always decides to disqualify crews.

Hi @Davemx1984
On behalf of our Community Management Team, I'm very pleased to announce you that we are considering the topic for this event (it will be hosted on Crew forums Category)
We believe you've read our answer to the previous event accepted, so take same advises into account.
Besides that there are two other things we would like to assure that they will be implemented beforewe allow the topic:
We've checked previous topic and there are way too many pages with just 'duplicated' posts where only a X was added (way too boring for the community that follows the event) for signing up. This means that like on the other event, sign up has to be made somewhere else and not on the topic (again, we suggest google forms, very practical tool and the link with existing files could reduce a lot the work from organisers)
This rule below has to be removed and replaced by: ALL OSM Terms have to be followed at all times.

Games against crewmates:

you may arrange the game, but your starting line up have to be on the correct position. If this is not possible due to injuries/suspensions you have to provide a screenshot of your team and doctor before the simulation.
Note: this not goes for the substitutions

If you agree with these conditions, we'll gladly allow you to have your own topic for the event!
As soon as you have it ready, you can post here the opening post and we'll handle the new topic creation. You can split the above post in two:
A short one explaining what's the tournament about and how it works
A second one with All the rules (again, we would like that no OSM Terms can be broken at any times) and other explanations you guys see fit.

One small and important note: We noticed that there were problems due to the fact that the 'judges' are also taking part on the event and that it may lead to misunderstandings and confusion. We advise you to pick 3 active managers from different crews and maybe communities to be the 'neutral' judges and that would have last call on the most complicated situations.

Thanks for the feedback and i agree on those terms.

Also i will ask for help from other active crew members if i can’t solve the problem.

Thanks again and i am really happy that this tournament can go on.

@Би-Кевин-Кристиан Your event goes against OSM rules, it's based on Battlepedia.

Ah ok, the regulation was created and each rule defined, there are no quotes about battlepedia in this regulation, including battlepedia to stay there.

But anyway, I'm waiting and making Choice of Opponents available in this new OSM battle model, this competition would already be held in this mold of this "New Battle Model (I don't know what you call it)", but as always, things take time to be made. We are still waiting for this promised "innovation" and not delivered yet.

This topic isn't for suggestions or discussions that are off topic. The purpose for this topic is to advertise competitions and request for a separate topic on the international community forum. Of course, these competitions must observe all OSM rules.
