Pseudo Champions League III (instructions)

CupManager PSEUDO C.L. III

Welcome to the instructions for the Pseudo Champions League III cup!   This tournament features teams from all around the world, from the bottom divisions of their countries. It starts on August 21st, and has 8 groups with 32 teams. After the group stage (3 weeks), there will be eliminations and the final will be 7 weeks after its start, on October 2nd. Here are the instructions how you can play in this cup. 1. Registration. Go to the www.CupManager.org website. On the left side you can Register yourself in the website. Use your HatTrick user name and security code (not the password). 2. Log on. Go to www.CupManager.org and from the left side log on with your user name and security code. 3. Read the Rules for more info about CupManager here: (http://cupmanager.org/files/index.php?mainpage=rules) 4. Find the cup. On the left side, go to Search and find the cup with ID number 73504 or follow this link: http://cupmanager.org/files/index.php?mainpage=cupdetails&szMenu=main&nCupId=73504 5. Join the cup. Then on the right side, go to Registration. You will be listed in the Waiting List, and later the administrator will accept you and put you in a group. NOTE: Hurry up! There is a limited number of teams from one country. There cannot be more than 3 teams from the same country in the tournament. 6. See your group. When all groups are full, the cup will start (scheduled for 21st August). On the right side, go to Groups and check your group. 7. See your program. On the right side, go to Fixtures/Results. Check your first opponent in your first match. HINT: If you wonder what's next, don't worry. Before every game, the administrator will remind you in time about your next opponent, and will tell you how to organise the match. 8. Challenge your opponent. Go back to HatTrick and find your opponent there (using his team’s name). You must challenge this team for a FRIENDLY game on the NORMAL rules (not “cup” rules), and the match should be played on a NEUTRAL ground - the stadium of one of the two other teams in your group. NOTE: The deadline for challenging your next opponent is each Sunday midnight! - If he doesn’t accept your invitation until then, please write a message to the administrator. He will confirm that you win 5-0 by forfeit, and you can find someone else to play a friendly against. - If you don’t accept your opponent’s invitation until then, you will lose the match 0-5, and the administrator will write a message to you, asking if you want to continue playing in this cup. If there is no answer within 24 hours, you will be removed from the cup. 9. The match. When you play your first friendly game, the result will appear automatically in the cup’s website. It is the same about every next game in the tournament. 10. Group stage. You must challenge your opponents from the group in the same way, week after week. This way you will play three (3) matches in the group. The first two teams from the group will progress to the elimination stage. 11. Elimination stage. The program of the elimination stage will appear after the end of the group stage. If you are in the elimination stage, you must check the program and challenge your next opponent for a FRIENDLY game on the CUP rules (not “normal" rules), and the match should be played on a NEUTRAL ground. 12. Trophies. If you reach the semi-final, a medal will appear next to your team’s name on the CupManager.org website. Hopefully, that would be a golden medal! HINTS: Please, do not apply for this cup if you do not intend to participate seriously, i.e. if you think you can play just one or two games and then quit before all group games have been played, thus leaving the other teams in a complicated situation. Please, do not apply for this cup if you are not from one of the two bottom divisions in your country, or if your team is older than six seasons. This cup is for relative newbies and rookies, not for the strongest teams. If you have more questions, please write a HatTrick message to the administrators: metalupyourass and asthfghl. You can also put comments here or in the cup's conference. Wish you good luck! And let's have fun! Yours, asthfghl (Go to PCL-III instructions for arranging the matches)
