[EURO Style Knockout Seeding]

This is how the Round of 16 was drawn. The team's position and group are in parenthesis.

Thanks for the help. I tested and everything works except the Valid Draw Rules: Avoid Teams in Previous Group". I get 1st vs. 3rd place sometimes, but they are from the same group. I honestly don't care too much about the C/D/E type seeding. It can be randomized as long as no teams from the same group match each other.

OP may already be aware of this and wants the more specific C/D/E-type seedings, but anyway the "best third place teams" thing comes from group settings/extra fate/places - set number of places to 4 (in the case of the Euros), "original league place" to "other", and "new league place" to "promotion" (shouldn't make sense but it does). "Maximum teams" in group should be set to 1, or else a fourth-place team might creep in if they have 3 or 4 points and outrank other third-place teams.

In the second round, you can seed teams by position in previous stage and do a seeded draw. There are also settings to "avoid teams in previous group" but it doesn't seem to work consistently

Thank you a lot for the reply. I’ve been really busy and haven’t been able to check the replies. I’m back home in a couple of days and will experiment with your suggestions and let you know how it goes. One thing I’ve noticed is that the host nation is not on group A. I have the teams divided in Pots with the host nation being the first one and then it’s distributed by world ranking (I think).

Hello, I am experimenting creating a 24 team Copa America with 10 teams from South America and 14 teams from North America. I was wondering how I could make the knockout seeding the same as EUROS with the 3rd placed teams. So like 1st from group C vs one of the top 4 3rd placed and 2nd from group A vs 2nd from group B, etc.

 

Extra: I also tried creating a qualifier tournament for North American teams where 36 participate and 14 qualify for the tournament, however, I'm having trouble with adding the teams that qualify to the tournament. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
