Roy Race 9 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Hi I have set up various comps that have group winners/or top 2 teams going into the KO rounds with no problems, team mappings is straight forward I have a comp now with 6 groups, 6 teams in each group and the top 2 go through to the KO rounds along with the 4 best other teams [finishing 3rd in their group] couple of questions on this, I have run a few tests the comp works well however I did see in one test that a team finishing 4th in a group qualified as they indeed did have more points than the teams who finished 3rd in the other groups, how do I stop this from happening and make those 4 teams come from teams finishing 3rd only also how do I set up the mappings for the first KO round to cater for 4 teams who could be from any of the groups. Ideally I was looking for a set up like the image above top Group A v Second Group B etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Race 9 Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 I have looked at Euros as it has a similar set up and nothing shows under mappings for the second round, its as if they are hidden but the next round QF the mappings show as normal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did manage to get it to replicate in the end, but it wasn't how the euros was set up in the editor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to recreate the euro and was looking for real fixtures for it (and in general for International competitions) but i do not think it s possible. The knock out stage work as it should 99/100. I say 99 as sometimes the best third Will play against a team of the same Group. Not always but can happen. I tried to put valid rules to avoid teams in previous Group but that had a terrible effect and override the team mapping. Look at My file. Let me know If u as well find a Solution. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Race 9 Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 UEFA set out the following schedule for the round of 16- Match 1: Winner Group B vs 3rd Group A/D/E/F Match 2: Winner Group A vs Runner-up Group C Match 3: Winner Group F vs 3rd Group A/B/C Match 4: Runner-up Group D vs Runner-up Group E Match 5: Winner Group E vs 3rd Group A/B/C/D Match 6: Winner Group D vs Runner-up Group F Match 7: Winner Group C vs 3rd Group D/E/F Match 8: Runner-up Group A vs Runner-up Group B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Race 9 Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 got the comp to play out as I want now and was able to follow the above formula to get that set up for first KO round, mappings work correctly for other following rounds too only one issue to solve now is I found is that the 4 best 3rd placed teams went to 3 teams finishing 3rd but the last place actually went to a team who finished 5th in their group[but on checking they had a higher reputation than the team who should have gone to KO round, so wondering if there is something pulling highest rep teams or is it a bug] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a best third place teams hidden stage? How'd you get it to be like A1 vs B3/C3/D3 (depending on the arrangement of third place advancers) etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Race 9 Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 forgot to check the additional helpers in the Euros there are 2 there I would imagine this helper is to set the home nation/s to specific groups in group stage possibly to certain stadiums too?

Roy Race 9 Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 can confirm using that additional helper the host nation/s gets drawn in group A and play all games in a home stadium if more than one host one is in Group A the other in Group C and they both play all their games in a home stadium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Race 9 Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Hi @rmpMarko thanks for the above, but that is where you are trying to get the 'real' fixtures for 2024 where you know the nations taking part I am asking to set the mappings not knowing what nations are involved or which 3rd place team qualifies from specific groups, it would be random and I have a fix for that but it cant be discussed here thanks for the input cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further tests on using this additional helper the host nation doesnt always end up in group A and I have seen co-hosts in the same group, so not sure what that helper actually does? The issue with not all the best 3rd place teams going to the KO round is still happening in game the rules are as expected but I am still seeing at least one team who finished as one of 'the best 3rd' teams not move to KO round their place I have found goes to a team with the highest reputation who hasnt qualified for the KO round,I am stumped on this Edited July 23 by Roy Race 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodelcitizen Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Have you got an attempt at team mappings that takes into account third place teams in there? Maybe it's getting confused from that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But im not trying to get the real teams for knockout stage. Those are random depending Who qualifies and following team mapping. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
\'Appy \'Ammer Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) Why don't you setup a sub league table for the 3rd placed teams? Then you can see how the editor has ranked them. Read my last post here. Also, I have found removing the additional helpers sometimes "helps"! And yes, an obvious question to ask...Have you made the rules fixed from flexible?

Roy Race 9 Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 (edited) @rmpMarko \'Appy \'Ammer -it wont let me tag you it displays another user I have added the hidden stage and the rules show correctly in game but still not getting the correct 3rd placed teams still seeing teams with highest reputation taking some of those 4 places Edited July 25 by Roy Race 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themodelcitizen Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 That's usually a sign of issues with ranking levels tbh, you definitely want the game to be able to figure out the winner itself, ideally without fate actions (plus news items will know it's the final etc). I can take a look at the file later and see if anything sticks out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
