Tournament question

ChromEagle · 03-21-2018, 09:46 AM

I have a fictional save that is promotion-relegation with 6 leagues with a total of 130 teams, I want to do like an FA Cup style tournament but I'm not sure if that would work since there's 130 teams and I want to include every single team in the tournament. Is that possible to do in OOTP 19 without breaking the game?

Wow, 130 teams in a tournament...

I mean, whatever you can put into a league, you can put into a tournament, basically. I know I've seen a beta team member run a 70-team playoff tournament that more or less worked fine (other than a typo in it), so I would guess it should work. All I can really say is try it out and see

If something fails, let us know.

it can definitely be done... it was possible in v18. I had a pro/rel game with 5 leagues/30 teams in each; and had an FA Cup style tourney with all 150 teams involved... just went with a basic setup and seeded them by rank (so the top team in the second tier league was ranked #31; top team in third tier was #61, etc). A handful of the top teams got a bye the first round; but the rest matched up based off high/low seed.

When did you schedule this tournament? To get seeding, you'd need final standings in all your leagues...

correct... it was after the season ended (granted doesn't give much of an off season with a big tourney running; but it was just to see if it could be done)
