I will use the benelux football tournament system, which determined the scores by ranking. You take the worldwide rankings of each nation, and strip the rankings so that both rankings have the same amount of numbers. (so if one is 134.946th, and the other 58.238th, you strip the 1 so both are 5 digits). Then, each digit is compared to the one of the other. The highest one gets a goal. If the scores draw, none gets a goal.
So, in our example:
34946 = 0 0 1 1 0 = 2
58238 = 1 1 0 0 1 = 3
so the final score is 2-3.
Points in the groups are as usual: 3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. Points determine ranking, if they draw the difference between scored and received goals, then the result of the match between the tying nations, then the most scored goals. If everything draws, decision matches will be held to determine who goes to the next round.
In the knock-out rounds, after a draw, the IDU ranking is used in the same way to determine the scores after extra time. If that draws too, a penalty round determines the winner. Both teams get 5 penalties. By comparing the reverse of the home team against the other team worldwide ranking the outcome is determined (equal = both score). In our example
49431 = 0 1 1 1 0 = 3
58238 = 1 0 0 1 1 = 3
Note that the ranking is reversed first, then truncated.
So 3-3 after penalties. After which I give up and the highest world-wide ranking (that is the lowest number!) determines the outcome. (think of it as the second round of penalties where the first time one team scores and the other doesn't, it ends).
The PRoGG will host the tournament to save on flying trips accoss the IDU. Hotels will be taken care of, and nations get full access to training facilities near the hotel and around the stadium where they'll play.
For each match, 1/4 of the tickets is reserved for the Groot Gouda citizens, and 3/8 each for the national teams.
This thread is for the associated chat, and for showing your national colours!
The winner gets a beautiful silver cup, engraved with the IDU scales and with an acorn on the lid.
The officiall mascot of the IDU Football Championships is Mr. Pisang: :pisang:
