Tournament Features

While it is great that they added tournaments, the feature could be even better with the following

1) Ability to use actual teams in tournaments. I feel this is the biggest necessary feature. While the tournament is great for international management, to truly get the full effectiveness out of tournaments this is necessary. Having played a lot of FM recently, the ability to be able to set up a championship league-like tournament or even just domestic cups is necessary in fictional leagues.

2) Ability to set age limits. While you can set it up somewhat with restricting service years and talent level, there is no guaruntee you would get the best u23, u19 tournament set up. Whether it is by restricting service years and getting older players with little service time or restricting talent level and not getting the best youth, there is no perfect set up. While I know little to nothing about code, I feel this would be the easiest of the features to code and also a necessary one for international teams.

3) Better set up for qualification tournaments. While it is possible to set up qualification tournaments, it isn't optimal. I want the ability when I set up a tournament to "say X number of teams from X qualification tournament get in" This is especially necessary for WBC and Olympics where I like to have qualification tournaments

4) MOre fleshed-out international management. I look at FM again for this one. Having a true International FA or the baseball equivalent would be a great feature. Having a u23, u19, main team all connected is important. I picture something just like FM.

Anyways, it is a great feature that could be even better if it was fleshed out more especially in regards to international management. Thanks for the great game

To add to this id like a world championship like the IIHF with P/R between tournaments. Essentially this could work for qualifiers too. If you have qualifying tournaments promote to the main tournament then the main tournament relegates the worst teams back to the qualifiers.
