Format
The 32 teams will be split into eight groups of four, with each team playing the others in its group twice. The top two sides from each group will progress to a single elimination knockout bracket, seeded by their performance in the group stage with no team facing a group opponent in the round of 16. All matches will be played in Jeckland. Tiebreakers will be as follows, goal difference, head to head points, head to head goal difference, goals scored, playoff game (to determine advancement), RP bonus (IC: coin toss, to determine seeding where both teams have advanced. If RP bonus is level this will be decided randomly.)

Rosters and Roleplays
You may now commence posting your rosters and roleplays. Please note that as per my bid there is a larger than usual roster bonus, including a minimum amount of a full matchday's RP bonus just for posting a roster, so you are encouraged to do so to ensure your opponents have information to use when RPing your matches.
You should also state your RP permissions in your roster, which state what you will and wont allow your opponent to do if they roleplay your match before you:
- Code: Select all
