...

why was 4 minutes added to the game?  Near the end of regulation time, the announcers said the something about the refs deciding how much time to add to the end.   So the refs can just add however much time they want to the game???? 

the game ending in a tie, why was there no overtime?   They must have some way about breaking a tie in the upper rounds.   

When the clock read about 84:00 , a USA player was escorted off the field by the ref?  why? It didn't look like he did anything wrong.  What happened?

 

can anyone please give me some answers to my questions?

You are right about the ties.  It is sort of like the NASCAR races (which I enjoy even less than soccer).  The points build as  the tournament goes along.

The extra time is based on an estimate by the officials on how much time is spent as down-time.  So while the clock always runs, even after goals and during injuries when they are carting some schmuck off of the field.  Game officials estimate how much time was spent standing around and not running back and forth and add that time to the end of the game.

Cookie MOnsters favorite jokes!

My college roommate loved telling jokes that WEREN'T racist, but he'd try to make them SOUND racist. He was a weird guy.

 

I knew a guy like this guy who did this.  A few friends were telling jokes and one of them starts, "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are walking through the woods when.." and the guy interrupts, "You can't make jokes about Tegroes!" and stormed out of the room.  It was pretty strange.

Adywan, as to the suggestion of releasing it as a beta first, I fully understand that you don't want to ruin the surprise. But maybe you could send a few copies to people who've helped with this edit, just so there's a couple more people to spot possible errors?

Trust me, Ady won't have any errors.  He looks at his work very closely. 

The man said he won't be sending out a work-print, so let it be.

Stoopid.  Only my work computer has the right (flash?) loaded to make it work.  I really need to figure out how to make it work from home.  Stoopid.

The move was easy on the right computer and worked like I thought it should.

 

Next step: Figuring out how to trade players. 

Other next step: Remembering to check the league daily.

Baby steps, there Sluggo, baby steps.
