Time for Playoffs
by: GoldoraK


Congratulations to all teams that made it to the playoffs. We've seen some thrilling games, mostly those for second place in the group. Top teams might have been a little bored during the previous weeks, but it is now time to wake up and switch to serious mode in order to achieve the best possible result!

With the group games finally behind us we can now start with the play-off stage for this seasons NationsCupXV

The Play Offs are as follows :

  • Team Finland vs Team Austria
  • Team France vs Team Norway
  • Team Germany vs Team Iceland
  • Team United Kingdom vs Team Sweden
  • Team Belgium vs Team Croatia
  • Team Estonia vs Team Hungary
  • Team Netherlands vs Team Canada
  • Team Poland vs Team Czech Republic

    Playoffs will be in Double Elimination mode. All teams that made it to the play-off must now start challenging their first opponents. You can see the teams on the right in the playoff tree and should contact them as soon as possible.The games should be scheduled for the Wed 22/02 evening @ midnight, or it will be forced by admin, and all games from the 1/8th final must be played by Sunday 26/02.

    From now on every team can also select their own map to play but remember clans are forbidden to chose the same map, previously selected in their two most recent playoff games. Good luck to all teams that made it to the play-off and thanks for competing to those that didn't.

    Playoffs matches - Part of rules

    1. A playoff match is played at least on 2 maps. Both clans select a map from the map list before the start of the match and inform the cup admin at least 30 mins before the match is set to start. The admin will not announce maps until both teams have confirmed their choices with him/her. In case both teams have chosen the same map, the second map will be selected with the conventional method of map elimination, preceded by a cointoss. The admin will choose which map is played first.

    2. One SW round will be played on each map.

    3. The admin will choose which map is played first.

    4. Each team will decide on which side to start on the map chosen by their opponent.

    5. Round wins are added to determine the score: the team that wins a SW round receives 2 points; if both teams fail to set a time in a SW round, both teams will get 1 point. So possible scores after the two first maps are: 4-0 3-1 2-2.

    6. In case the game is tied, an extra SW round is played on one of the remaining maps from the maplist. Teams take turns eliminating maps. The winner of the coinflip eliminates the first map, followed by the other team until one map is left to be played. When a map is selected, the team which didn't have final pick chooses who attacks first.

    7. Clans are forbidden to chose the same map, previously selected in their two most recent playoff games.
