Hi everyone
I'm trying to create a Home Nations Cup that overrides the Carabao Cup and contains all 260 teams from the following divisions:
England - Premier League, Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One, Sky Bet League Two
Scotland - Cinch Premiership, Cinch Championship, Cinch League 1, Cinch League 2
Wales - JD Cymru Premier, JD Cymru North, JD Cymru South
Northern Ireland - Sports Direct Premiership, Playr-Fit Championship, Playr-Fit Premier Intermediate League
Rep. Ireland - SSE Airtricity League Premier Division, SSE Airtricity League First Division, Beamish Stout Munster Senior League - Senior Premier Division, Leinster Senior League Senior Division
I've searched many posts on this forum and others, gone other every individual setting in the Carabao Cup and Advanced Rules. Everywhere has 260 teams defined and the overall count of the teams from the divisions above equals 260.
I get the above error message when testing the Advanced Rules at the point where it is running the competition.
The strange thing is, if I remove one of the divisions, I get an error stating the count if wrong with the expected incorrect count. For example, removing Premier League shows 240 teams correctly. If I add back in the removed league, I then get the attached error with 261 teams instead of 260.
The rankings setting look OK with what I've seen other people assigning. The only thing I'm not positive is correct is the group phase, where 13 group winners plus 3 best runners up should qualify for the next round, although I'm not sure this should affect the starting round overall count of 260?
The error logs give me the following each time I test the Advanced Rules:
10:21:43:805 Error in nation rules
10:21:43:805 ERROR: 26/6/2023: Carabao Cup, Number of teams in competition (261) doesn't match expected number of teams from rankings (260)
I've attached the FMF file below and if someone is able to help, I would greatly appreciate it. I've been scratching my head with this error for a few weeks now!
