Nations Cup #4 powered by Blackout Gaming: Groups Announced!

Nations Cup #4 powered by Blackout Gaming: Groups Announced!

The groups have been seeded and drawn, with 4 groups of four teams and 4 groups of five teams with the winners and runners-up from each group proceeding to the knockout stage of the cup. You can find the full group listings HERE. The schedule for the group stages is as follows:

Group Stage:

• “Extra” week: Played between Sunday 14th – Saturday 20th
• Group Stages week 1: Played between Sunday 21st – Saturday 27th
• Group Stages week 2: Played between Sunday 28th – Saturday 3rd
• Group Stages week 3: Played between Sunday 4th – Saturday 10th
• Tiebreakers: Played between Sunday 11th – Wednesday 14th

Groups with 5 teams will have 5 Weeks, as the uneven team count results in a bye week for some teams. For Group B, C, E and F, teams must play their Week 5 matches within the Week 1 deadline. This may be extended in special cases (for example a team having a week 4 and 5 match). Contact an admin on irc to find out if your matches apply as “special case” if you are unsure.

The schedule week has officially started! Try to schedule as many of your games as early as possible, as this ensures that you’ll find a suitable date. Remember late matches are not allowed – any games unplayed after the deadline will be nullified.

If you want your game to be casted, contact a casting organisation informing them of the schedule. Give them as many opportunities to cast as possible!

A reminder that all teams without at least 6 players on the team roster (exceptions may apply) by July 14 could be removed from the Cup.
