I received this email today from the FFA. Football Federation Australia wrote:Hello,

Not sure where to put this but this quoting is very impressive. clockwork orange wrote:The-Far-Post wrote:ned7 wrote:The-Far-Post wrote:RedsUnited wrote:ned7 wrote:This is simple stuff. The rules are clear as day and not open to any interpretation... How hard it is???
Replace the words "top domestic league championship" with "A-League (Regular Season)" and "domestic knock-out competition" with "A-League (Finals Series)" and you have your answer.
If we do the double, regarless of what else happens, the second ACL spot will 100% DEFINITELY go to the "runner-up of the A-League (Regular Season)" which in this instance will be the Mariners...
This thread: #-o #-o #-o #-o ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) Exactly. I started this thread to prove a point. Some people still don't understand it though. ](*,) The Doctor wrote:so have the AFC changed the rules or something compared to previous seasons? No. This is where I had read it in previous seasons when I was reading the regulations for the ACL for us. That's the thing, ned7 and RedsUnited. History (previous Prelim finals with ACL qualification at stake) shows what you are saying is wrong. The AFC regulations might suggest otherwise and that's why this debate continues. Here's a good link for you. It's the A-League Prelim Final from 2009. Adelaide defeated Brisbane 1-0, see par6 Quote:The win means the Reds will play their bogey side the Victory for the fifth time this season. It has also gifted them a place in the 2010 Asian Champions League. http://www.a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=26724This from 2008's prelim final, Jets 3 Roar 2, final par Quote:But the Jets were able to hold on for a memorable victory, a place in the Asian Champions league next year and a chance to win this season's Grand Final. http://www.a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=hal_newsdisplay&id=21474&pageid=1001Edited by the-far-post: 8/2/2011 08:56:54 PM Figjam_3326 wrote:ned7 wrote:This is simple stuff.

Based on what has occurred during the past 5 season, you are WRONG. Having supported a team that has actually been involved in this scenario on THREE occasions, I can tell you that, in the past 5 seasons the ACL spots have gone to: 1. the winner of the A-League title 2. the winner of the A-League GF If 1 = 2, then the runner up in the GF gets the Champions League spot, not the 2nd place in the the title race. However, this may be different for 2011, since the Regulations seem to be pretty clear about what happens if the Cup winner = the title winner. Dear Muppets, The HISTORY of the A-League doesn't tell us shit in solving this arguement: Quote:2007 Champions League Qualifiers
Adelaide United (2005-06 A-League Premiers) – Finished season 1st
Sydney FC (2005-06 A-League Champions) – Finished season 2nd & won GF
2008 Champions League Qualifiers
Melbourne Victory (2006-07 A-League Champions and Premiers) – Finished season 1st & won GF
Adelaide United (2006-07 A-League runners-up) – Finished season 2nd & lost GF
2009 Champions League Qualifiers
Newcastle United Jets (2007–08 A-League Champions) – Finished season 2nd & won GF
Central Coast Mariners (2007–08 A-League Premiers) – Finished season 1st & lost GF
2010 Champions League Qualifiers
Melbourne Victory (2008–09 A-League Champions & Premiers) – Finished season 1st & won GF
Adelaide United (2008–09 A-League runners-up) – Finished season 2nd & lost GF
2011 Champions League Qualifiers
Sydney FC (2009–10 A-League Champions & Premiers) – Finished season 1st & won GF
Melbourne Victory (2009–10 A-League runners-up) – Finished season 2nd & lost GF
2012 Champions League Qualifiers
Brisbane Roar (2010–11 A-League premiers) – Finished season 1st
+1 (2010–11 A-League champions) –
The newspaper articles above only prove that the media have NFI what is going on. The rules quite clearly state that if the Champions & Premiers are the same team, the second ACL representative will be second place in the league. The history of the A-League shows that both the actual scenario and the "GF runners' up" scenario could be the answer, but to solve it very quickly, refer to the rules. Which haven't changed. Edited by ned7: 9/2/2011 07:29:18 AM Pal you're missing the point. Maybe you're a young fella or have a short memory, but when I refer to history I'm talking about past Prelim Finals being referred to as ACL deciders. You've still not offered any outright proof for your argument. You can go on about these regulations but they can be interpreted for either argument. The fact you say the regulations haven't changed reinforces my argument, as history (based on Prelim Finals) tells us if the Champion and Premier are the same team than the GF runner-up gets second spot. I don't think he is. The Preliminary Finals have been and still are in effect ACL deciders, e.g If CCM win then they gurantee themselves an ACL spot (not because they made the GF but because no third team can win the GF). If GCU win the preliminary final a spot in Asia is up for grabs in the GF if they win. This has been the same situation in the past.

Had a two-hour lecture on this at uni. Learnt a lot: for example, if you use a two-word adjective, you're meant to hyphenate them. Half the class didn't know what a semi-colon was. #-o

It's horrible. It really isn't that hard to get it right, but it's such a common mistake. Same with to/too

I think there/their/they're is worse though. I see that all the time.
One thing I always get confused with is the phrase 'if worse comes to worst'. I don't even know if that's right. :lol:
