Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2012 10:45 pm
EURO 2012
This is a 1v1 tourney based on the Euro 2012. Premium Players Only.
I'll be looking for 54 players to represent the 54 countries involved in this football tournament. (I've added Kosovo, to even up the Groups)
There will be three rounds. The Group Round with 54 players, the Pool Round with 16 players, and the Tournament with 8 players.
[spoiler=Group Round]In the first round, all 54 teams will be divided into 9 groups, predetermined by country. Groups will be listed below. This first round consists of a double home-at-home round robin. This means you'll play a total of 20 games against the other 5 teams in your Group, 10 on your "home" map, 10 on your opponent's "home" map. At the end of this double round robin, the nine Group winners, and the 2nd place player with the best overall record, all advance. If there are two 2nd place players tied for best overall record, they will play one single playoff on the Europa map. If there are more than two, they will play a round robin against each other until there is one team that will advance.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=2nd Place Playoff]At the end of the Group Round, 10 players have advanced, and there are now eight 2nd place players left to fill 6 spots. These eight players will be randomly paired, and play a best-of-three, one on each home map, and one on the neutral map, Europa. The four winners advance. The four losers will again be randomly paired, and play another best-of-three, again on each home map, and one on the neutral map, Europa. Winners advance, losers are eliminated.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Pool Round]Once the 16 teams have been settled, players will be randomly divided into four Pools of 4, with two 1st place teams and two 2nd place teams in each Pool. This round consists of a double home-at-home round robin. This means teams will play a total of 12 games, 6 on your "home" map, 6 on your opponent's "home" map. At the end of this double round robin, the top two teams in each Pool will advance to the Tournament. If there is a tie for either 1st or 2nd, a head-to-head tiebreaker will be used. If that does not break the tie, there will be a single playoff on the Europa map.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Tournament]Each round of the Tournament will be a best-of-five series, 2 games played on each player's home map, and one on the neutral Europa. All five games will be played simultaneously. The grid will be as follows:
Round 1
Series 1: Winner Pool 1 vs 2nd place Pool 4
Series 2: Winner Pool 2 vs 2nd place Pool 3
Series 3: Winner Pool 3 vs 2nd place Pool 2
Series 4: Winner Pool 4 vs 2nd place Pool 1
Round 2
Series 5: Winner Series 1 vs Winner Series 2
Series 6: Winner Series 3 vs Winner Series 4
Bronze Medal Game
Series 7: Loser Series 5 vs Loser Series 6
Gold Medal Game
Series 8: Winner Series 5 vs Winner Series 6[/spoiler]
