Subject: [DEV] International Cup

I deleted every off topic message that didn't added anything to this topic. I would like to ask every manager with deleted posts in the last 2 Pages of this topic to behave and to stop harassing People intentionally. Posting something about someone without his consent is seen as harassment and Will be dealt with. If you all cannot maintain a civilised and adult conversation then I need to ask you to leave the forum as a read only. If you still cannot do it voluntary, then I Will make it read only!

I definitely vote with both hands for the forum to be read-only. At least that way one can really find useful information.

I see a bonch of teams flagged as relegated to a lower tier, including my opponent today that won his group. Does anyone know the promotion/relegation criteria? What teams will get promoted to the upper tier, there's no indication on that yet?

DD84 provides information concerning this:

Relegation
Finishing last in the group results in relegation.
Exceptions to these rules may occur if teams lose their owners during the competition and become bot-controlled. Such teams will be relegated first, giving active teams a chance to avoid demotion despite poor results.

Promotion
Reaching the ninth round as one of the final sixteen teams guarantees promotion. (Meaning you have to win 2 matches in the knockout stage to achieve promotion)
(edited)

Thanks for some useful information.
This means that, if I just lost in the first knockout match (finishing first in my group), I will remain in my League 2.

Exactly.

Thanks mate. Now I noticed the team I defeated in the first knock off stage that's also flagged for relegation has no owner - something must have happened there recently, as it looked like an active team.

Does it make sense for the next season to start the international cup a bit later?

Current way we will have 4 official games stacked in first weeks. 3 games per week in first 6 weeks are garanteed.

If we start later we can avoid these 4 games per week for most of the users and we can use last weeks where we play usually friendlies to have 2x international games (monday and friday) to catch up with season finish.

P.S. this Monday Friday can also solve this year international cup ending in time.

I don't really see a point in doing that, Polish cup ends in week 11, so at most you could move it up by 2 weeks, when you play easiest opponents in national cup anyway. At the same time you would coincide the harder national cup games with harder/more important (knockout) IC games.

I also believe polish cup can be shortened with one round less at the beginning. I know that there is a lot of users but there are plenty of games with indiv. average mark less then 40. But even if not you will still have less users in Poland that are still in the cup in the time when int cup starts.
And i believe that season finale should be internatinal 1/8 1/4 1/2 and finals games.

@camus
i give my further thoughts on your topic

Is it confirmed that the international cup will be composed of official matches starting from next season or it is still uncertain?

Why we have now teams in 1/8 and they dont have this green arrow up ->

Promotions are still being calculated incorrectly.
Dev received a description of how it should work – first, the round the team reached should be taken into account, then points, etc.
However, he created a “global table” sorted by points, goal difference, etc., ignoring the round reached in the cup.

I have already informed him that there is a bug.

There is a 90% certainty that the matches will be played as official games. Something could still go wrong, but the developers are well on their way to handle it.
