Got the craving for a big knockout cup, thought I’d run a 32 team tournament next season to run side by side the Euros.
However, this tournament will have a bit of a twist so it’s different to the usual TCL and TEL we run on here every season.
We will start with 4 groups of 8 with the top 4 qualifying. (Random Groups)
We will then do another 2 groups of 8, this time seeded from the first group stages, so they’re will be two teams that were 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in each group for the next round.
The top 4 of each group from here will continue into the knockout stages which will also be seeded. 1st playing 4th from the opposite group and 2nd playing 3rd from the opposite group...as long as SL doesn’t random up the draw
1 team per person, I’m looking to get this started in the next week or so, if everything is not filled by next Friday I will be opening this up to second teams.
Just for fun, please pick a country to represent, but please DO NOT change your team names for them, as I don’t want to mess up Deca’s end of season algorithm to calculate Manager of the year.
The team has to be European, and will be referred to in the tournament going forward instead of your actual team name on SL, however put your team name in brackets and I’ll do the rest.
1. France (South Shields)
