Choosing Teams in a Tournament

tricey · 03-30-2017, 05:20 PM

I have created 16 fictional nations alongside the real world nations. I want to run a tournament between the 16 nations, but I am unable to control which nations participate in the tournament.

I create the tournament inside the league, but I don't have control to select which nation enters. The game makes assumptions and includes it's own choice of nations.

It appears to have based the selection on the nationalities I have used to set up default players in the league. Maybe that, or it has taken the nations with the highest representation in the pool of players.

Either way, I want to get control because in my fictional universe I would like it if the nations with major leagues reject the tournament in the first few years, thinking it beneath them, much like the world's major football nations did to the World Cup in the 1930s.

I want to add that since these are all fictional countries they don't have a region assigned to them and therefore I can't control it through that setting. Any ideas?

Thanks,

David

Here are two screenshots to demonstrate the problem.

It's in the settings of the tournament. You can either have the AI select the nations or you choose them manually. Sorry I don't have the game with me so I can't tell you exactly where it is but it's in there.

I think you have to use fixed for picking the nations. I did that for my first WBC tournament where I picked the nations and the divisions they were in.

Thank you both, that was exactly what I was missing.
