A. I want to change the format of the African World Cup qualification (54 teams). I like the format used in the 04-05 qualification campaign which includes:
1st Round ---> Knockout Stage (Home and Away) 48 teams = 24 (Seeded) v 24 (Unseeded) teams
2nd Round ---> 24 teams from the 1st round join the 6 best African teams seeded by World ranking. So, 5 groups of 6 teams (Home and Away)
6 pots (Seeded) in 5 groups ( Pot 1 ---> 5 teams, Pot 2 ---> 5 teams,etc.)
The top team in each group qualifies to the 32 teams World Cup. I also want this format to remain permanently after the 2022 edition because I don't like formats that have greater than 32 teams.
Regarding the calendar (match days), for example:
1st Round ---> March 2021
2nd Round ---> June, September, October, November 2021
Interval --> Every 4 years
B. I am a newbie to editing. So, I have watched many editor guides on Youtube and have read several posts here related to international editing. So far, following International Competition Editing Guide by Dynamo ZahnZee on Youtube, I succeeded in creating,a simple format, a single round of 9 teams in 6 groups. Besides, I have tried to edit the existing advanced rules in the existing format but I don't think it is doable without starting from the basic rules.
C. I am only interested in the CAF world cup qualification. So, I don't know if it is possible to edit the CAF section only as it has no intercontinental play-offs and no AFCON qualification in the World Cup qualifying.
D. Is there any guide/reference either videos or screenshots to make this edit from basic to advanced rules?
Thanks in advance
