NS World Cup of Masters II (35+ football) IC Thread
Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2020 1:44 pm
The Incorporated Football Federation of Sarzonia cordially welcomes the other 15 nations who have signed up for the second edition of the NS World Cup of Masters.
Unlike the first edition, the group stage for this edition will take place in the various countries' home stadia. The knockout rounds will take place in Sarzonia. Information about the venues and the host cities will be forthcoming.
The teams will be divided into four groups of four teams each. Each team will have two matches against each opponent in its group. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the knockout rounds.
The 16 partipating nations are as follows:
1. Sarzonia
2. Sylestone
3. Rwekazaland
4. Megistos
5. Kriegiersien
6. HUElavia
7. Mavinet
8. Kohnhead
9. Silvedania
10. Space
11. Transvolcanic
12. Hebitaka
13. Abanhfleft
14. Kavagrad
15. Damukuni
16. Rangers FC
The group draw was completed on random.org. With the exception of Sarzonian automatically being drawn into the top position in Group 1, the IFF employed a pot system that favoured returning nations. Kriegiersien, Sylestone, and Megistos as teams that advanced to the knockout rounds were the other Pot 1 teams.
As returning competitors with a rank, HUElavia and Kohnhead were assigned to Pot 2. Since Abanhfleft participated with The APOC Coalition in WCoM I, they were assigned as a Pot 2 team. Everyone else was ordered randomly.
The groups are as follows:
GROUP 1
Sarzonia
Abanhfleft
Mavinet
Rangers FC
