This tournament will use the World Cup
group stage format.
8 teams start in the Group Stage. All games on Brazil map. The top two from each group advance.
4 teams compete in a Knockout Stage
using the same format as group play . All games on World Cup 2014 map.
Winning : The team that achieves first place in the Knockout Stage WINS!
GA Medal : The player who scores the most "goals" in the tournament wins a General Achievement Medal.
(Tiebreaker on World Cup 2014 with tournament settings.) Sign up as a team of 4 and pick a country from the 2014 World Cup. EDIT: You may also sign up as an
Individual and you will be placed on a team (if enough other individuals sign up while there is space).
Reserves may also be called in IF a team needs to replace one of their players.
Format There will be three Match Days in each stage. A Match Day consists of 4 games with one player from each team in each game.
Each Match Day represents two matches per group (for example: Team 1 vs Team 2, Team 3 vs Team 4).
Each player who wins a game
scores a goal for his team in that day's match.
(Although all four teams in each group are represented in every game, the goals scored by winning players will apply to the specific matches on that Match Day.) By winning a match a team earns 3 points. A draw counts for 1 point.

show: Timing of goals
This is just for flavor, but here's how I'm registering the time at which goals are scored during a game: For the sake of variety I will take all goals scored during a stage and order them. There are 4 games per match day per group, so the first two goals will come in the first half of those matches and the last two will come in the second half. With 24 total games in the Group Stage there will be 12 goals in the first half of those games and 12 in the second half. Considering all goals in the first half, the first goal scored comes at 4 minutes into the game in which it's scored. The second at 8', the third at 12' and so on. The last goal comes in stoppage time at 45'+3. The same system applies to goals in the second half: 49', 53', 57'... In the Knockout Stage, with 12 total games, there will be 6 first half goals at 4', 8', 20', 32', 43', 45'+1 and 6 second half goals at 49', 53', 65', 77', 87', 90'+1.KNOCKOUT STAGE Goals scored (first half) : loutil (Game 14773470 ) = 8-28 11:35 / 4' DoomYoshi (Game 14773472 ) = 8-29 22:19 / 8' Agent 86 (Game 14773473 ) = 8-31 10:39 / 20' loutil (Game 14773465 ) = 9-01 10:31 / 32' Endgame422 (Game 14773467 ) = 9-01 13:10 / 43' ziggy62 (Game 14773476 ) = 9-04 16:31 / 45'+1Goals scored (second half) : Blitzkrieg Frank (Game 14773471 ) = 8-31 17:31 / 49' Agent 86 (Game 14773469 ) = 9-04 23:28 / 53' denominator (Game 14773475 ) = 9-04 23:51 / 65' Shady-Jim (Game 14773474 ) = 9-05 23:45 / 77' Eternal Shadow (Game 14773464 ) = 9-06 12:43 / 87' Blitzkrieg Frank (Game 14773466 ) = 9-06 20:14 / 90'+1GROUP STAGE Goals scored (first half) : Shady-Jim (Game 14656248 ) = 7-23 16:37 / 4' dub312 (Game 14656276 ) = 7-25 18:59 / 8' DukeHazzard (Game 14656272 ) = 7-27 17:45 / 12' Endgame422 (Game 14656249 ) = 7-28 14:40 / 16' jonofperu (Game 14656283 ) = 7-28 22:51 / 20' Chewie1 (Game 14656294 ) = 7-29 12:20 / 24' Shady-Jim (Game 14656265 ) = 7-30 11:01 / 28' loutil (Game 14656239 ) = 7-30 12:26 / 32' denominator (Game 14656271 ) = 7-30 20:34 / 36' jonofperu (Game 14656304 ) = 8-01 00:18 / 40' lokisgal (Game 14656238 ) = 8-01 08:51 / 44' Agent 86 (Game 14656260 ) = 8-03 15:31 / 45'+3Goals scored (second half) : Eternal Shadow (Game 14656274 ) = 7-29 17:15 / 49' dub312 (Game 14656270 ) = 7-31 07:28 / 53' Blitzkrieg Frank (Game 14656246 ) = 8-01 05:20 / 57' Agent 86 (Game 14656252 ) = 8-03 08:33 / 61' Shady-Jim (Game 14656234 ) = 8-04 09:25 / 65' cooldeals (Game 14656266 ) = 8-04 14:57 / 69' DukeHazzard (Game 14656298 ) = 8-04 16:17 / 73' BlackKnight_6 (Game 14656286 ) = 8-07 06:59 / 77' Donelladan (Game 14656259 ) 08-10 12:45 / 81' Endgame422 (Game 14656255 ) 08-12 14:31 / 85' tokle (Game 14656302 ) 08-14 12:42 / 89' DoomYoshi (Game 14656245 ) 08-16 10:09 / 90'+3
