Will there be another Nations Cup?

ofc

I want a refund, did not want to play vs Germany.

i briefly searched the rules but couldnt find the answer, what happens when a player declines the game?

I don't like autolosses for non-joins.

That's why I give 6-7 days to join the games, instead of 3.
If someone declines, I mail their contact player to give them a chance to work it out. If the player wants to play after all and the decline was a mistake, I create the game one more time.

thanks :)

Hi, there!

With odd number of teams, "bye" seems to be inevitable, but, I would propose 3-way match (the overnumbered team and a random pair). Simply, 12 games comes as each team matches 6 games against other 2 teams.

Example: Team A plays 6 matches against team B, A plays 6 matches against team C, and B plays 6 matches against team C. All teams play, therefore 12 matches. Say A get 6 victories against B and 3 against C, and B gets 5 against C - A will have 18-6 (or less if there is multiple player), B will get 10-14, and C will get 8-16.

Winner or that "mini tournament", gets victory (1 point), middle team gets draw (0,5 points) and last team gets loss (0 points).

That way all teams participate in each stage of the Cup.

It would be important to check if the team got 3-way tournament in the past, as that should only happen once in the Cup for any or each team. This short Swiss RR system could allow this.

When does next round start?

Next round starts in 16-20 hours.

It's an interesting idea. The main problem is that matchmaking is mostly automated through scripts and implementing your idea would require some drastic changes to the code, and I don't think it's worth the effort.

hi, i was given one of koopa's games I believe.

You are right, it should be Koopa vs MGO, not you vs MGO.

This game is incorrect: https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=20162086
and its result won't matter. Noone picked there yet so it's not a big deal. Feel free to vote to end.

I created the correct game: https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=20164020

The Ireland team is dominating.

I'm not surprised.

What a great competition without enough visibility :(
I mean, I hate (and cannot) to browse google docs via my phone, so I wish if a cool person would write monthly forum summaries for this cool series too ;)

All activity on discord?

I am curious too!

Activity is happening on discord, yea.
There is an extremely close fight going on for 1st place between Germany, France, USA and Germany B, and we are already in the last round, so the first season is almost over.

well, a Germany team has a 50% chance of winning this with 25% to USA and to France
