A prozaic introduction:
There is a World Cup coming up this summer in Russia. That is football to some. Or soccer to others. Oh, and boring to the rest of the world. Including The Netherlands, as we managed not to qualify...
This tournament is set up around the World Cup. Russian maps, not too specialized, and a round robin followed by a knock-out phase towards the final.
Rules of bribery & corrupcy
Each team will represent a country, you will pick two maps from the list below and a single combination of settings.
Every game between two countries will consist of 4 CC-games on the choosen maps by both teams.
Winning a game on a first pick map (M1) is worth 2 goals, if done within the Round Limit of 20 (outside the RL is worth 1 goal).
Winning a game on a second pick map (M2) is worth 1 goal, if done within the Round Limit of 20 (outside the RL is worth nothing).
So in every tournament game there can be scored up to 6 goals.
End results go into regular soccer format: 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. The match score itself ('goal difference') will be the second decider over points in case of a qualification draw for the Knock Out Phase of the tournament. Would this be undecided too, the result of the teams involved against each other will be decisive. Still no decision? A single sunny escalating unlimited game on Baltic Crusades will do...
The maps to choose from:
The tournament is good to go with 8 teams. If however sign-ups keep rolling in, I'm willing to expand the tournament to a max of 16 teams. This could influence the number of teams in each group in the Round Robin Phase (3, 4 or 5), at least 2 will advance to the The Knock-out Phase. In the first round of the KOP every group winner will play a runner-up from a different group. Actual size of the KOP will depend on the total number of teams and will be publicated before the tournament starts. In the KOP teams play a single game against each other. If the result is not decisive, both teams get an extra game on their main home map. Still undecided, the Baltic trick will force a decision on which team advances.
Some further details:
- Not accepting a game within 24 hours will result in a yellow card. The first two have no consequence, from the third on every yellow card will result in a 1 point deduction in the group table (RRP) or count as 1 goal/game win for the opposing team (KOP). Cards are counted per team, not per player. At 5 yellow cards, you will receive a red card, which ends your tournament.
- All games will have a Round Limit of 20 to ensure tournament progress.
- If for any reason a team abandons or gets kicked out in the Round Robin Phase, all games of this team will count as 'not played'.
- In any other case of dispute, my wisdom will decide.
- I've got a very short foe list, don't bother signing up if you are on it...
