Tournaments appear to execute perfectly - It's everything I had hoped for. Thank you!

What?!? No Mensch on The Bench? Oh well, maybe in the next patch.

Caporegime · 03-20-2017, 03:37 PM

Yikes! I misspelled tournaments. I better get some sleep soon.

tomwolf2008 · 03-20-2017, 03:38 PM

Were you able to control a team? If yes, could you tell me how to do it? Can't quite figure it out.

Chico Guilbault · 03-20-2017, 03:40 PM

Do the players have jerseys and caps specifically for the tournament?

Are you in Commissioner Mode? If so, you won't be able to control a team.

I'm currently playing in Commish Mode, just monkeying around with things at the moment. I haven't tried managing any team yet. Sorry.

Yes. It functions just a like a separate league. I'll post a few more screenies to (hopefully) clarify things a bit.

Right now, I'm just exploring things at the moment and haven't had a chance to customize any unis, caps or logos yet.

How does the tournaments work? set up and all

Caporegime · 03-20-2017, 03:59 PM

Some more WBC screenies.

That last image features one of the many outstanding uniform/cap sets created by txranger.

It's easy as pie. There's an option to add a tournament in "Global Settings". After that, you can choose the type of tourney you'd like to add:

Beyond that, it's pretty easy. Here's an example of what you'll encounter if you select the "World Cup" tourney option:

Think I found one issue with custom tournaments I put in the bug reports forum

Orioles1966 · 03-20-2017, 04:34 PM

Can it handle odd numbered teams?

What's the most amount of teams allowed?

Can it be played while other teams play regular season games?

norva13x · 03-20-2017, 04:46 PM

Does it keep history like a normal league? How does that work for tournaments like the WBC that aren't every year?

Odd teams - sort of no. Basically the default scheduler will probably not do things properly, but if you manually adjust things then it will function.

Most amount of teams is a lot. Only 1 sub-league, but I think 50 divisions of 50 teams? Give or take. Basically whatever a league can handle.

You can have it play while other leagues are going (the AFL plays while MLB post-season is on), but any players in the tournament are removed from their regular rosters, so you might not want Kershaw to be stolen from your team in a pennant run to go pitch for the USA.

Yeah, history is basically like a normal league. And if it only runs occasionally then you basically just see gaps in the history. We'll look to clean up more of those reports as we go.

When I'm trying to pick out players to join my international team, players secondary nationality should make them eligible to play for that team right?

BBGiovanni · 03-20-2017, 06:42 PM

Thanks for posting the screenshots, can't wait to try when I get home!

I really like the elegance of it being set up like its own league. Also, isn't this one of those things that was supposed to be impossible?

Yes, unless if their first nationality also matches a team in the tournament, in which case the player will "choose" one team. So Freeman is Canadian/American, he may choose to play for Canada some games and choose to play for the US in other games.

lionden_56 · 03-20-2017, 06:50 PM

I've only had like half an hour to mess around with it, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but can you set up tournaments with the teams in your league? It seemed like I could manually enter the team names, but the rosters seemed to fill randomly.

dave1927p · 03-20-2017, 07:47 PM

any chance that the loser in the finals for a one division tournament can be named as a finalist? That's really the only thing I can suggest otherwise it's perfect.

Chico Guilbault · 03-20-2017, 08:39 PM

I can't seem to select a host city without crashing.
