Since I did not have time to implement the new format in the code, I will announce the draw for Round 1 here. The winners from Round 1 will be manually added to the system at the start of Round 2, and the website will run automatically again from there.
25 countries have lined up a team in R1-R2. 3 countries haven't, but they do have a captain so I will still include them in the knock-out bracket anyway.
That gives us the following ranking after R2: 1. Belgium 2. Australia 3. Portugal 4. Romania 5. Serbia 6. Slovakia 7. Lithuania 8. Spain 9. France 10. Greece 11. Venezuela 12. Philippines 13. England 14. Argentina 15. Latvia 16. Brazil 17. Uruguay 18. Poland 19. Kazakhstan 20. Turkey 21. Singapore 22. Mexico 23. Nicaragua 24. Nigeria 25. United States 26. Malaysia 27. Banglagesh 28. China
The top 4 seeds get a bye this round. The top 8 is seeded as usual, the other countries are drawn randomly (just like on GPRO itself). The draw was made with random.org.
And the draw is.....
Belgium (1) v [bye] Uruguay v China Mexico v Brazil Spain (8) v Nicaragua
Serbia (5) v United States Singapore v Kazakhstan Latvia v France Romania (4) v [bye]
Portugal (3) v [bye] Malaysia v Argentina Turkey v Philippines Slovakia (6) v Nigeria
Lithuania (7) v Poland Greece v England Banglagesh v Venezuela Australia (2) v [bye]

Thanks @Patrick Urlings (A42) ;) Good draw for France (I think)
Hard battles are :
Serbia - USA | But USA hide their game !
Lituania - Poland | Late start for Poland like USA, don't sure Lituania can survive (but they used only 4 managers)
Greece - England | for me advantage Greece

Thanks Patrick for the PM. I'm not opening it yet so it reminds me until I pick the players, so I'm answering here :)
Now you will be able to tag me here too.

If I could remove one guy from the team who seems won't compete it still would not change much. All you must beware is that I don't start winning Elite races, then it could become complicated xD

nice match. I wish everyone success.
I have not completed my team, I need to complete the top 6 until which race.

@Ania Piekarska (M1) I've already tag you before ^^ Sometimes GPro fomrum tags don't works as expected :)
|
|
|
@Raimonds Urtāns (E) You ?
Yes, Elite have great potentials points ^^
But now, i think we have 1 team (Italy) who won World Cup with Elite Champion !
The challenge, for you, and me, will be great ;)

Quote ( Patrick Urlings @ August 25th 2022,09:04:07 ) I made a PM to the people I couldn't tag correctly to let them know that the drawing took place here... This way everyone is informed and the competition will be even better. To those who can't be tagged correctly, don't hesitate to put an answer in the subject so that we can tag you correctly next time Thank you Patrick! I wanted to send the word around, but it was late when I posted the draw and I wanted to sleep first. :D

You don't need to be ready to realize that I've already lost, unless a miracle happens.

Great win for Serbia. With 26.8 points we are candidate for trophy of World cup. This is just beggining. We can be even better.

@Predrag Marmut (A61) Good luck !
Serbia is in the place !
Edit: 1-1 against USA Last match will be decisive
|
|

Meh - just call me Ferrari, doing this sub-round has really thrown off my strategy and ability to communicate to maximize points..... all good....
Will be watching to see how this last race pans out.

Yeah. 1:1, last match will be very interesting. I am missing some Master players who finished in top 5 last race but no worries we are strong enough. Wish everyone luck next race except USA ahahahahahaha.

grateful for the confrontation with the Mexicans, now expect the next challenge.

We are luck to get the not good performing opponent to get to second round :D Also not very good season by scoring points for Slovakia managers. Last season we were strong, but right that one the world cup was just for VIP.

Belgium have won WC with not à strong team (if i remember well this was less scored points of all seasons)

Quote ( Sébastien Boulanger @ September 2nd 2022,08:20:56 ) For VIP ?
yes becouse only 10 countries were competing, and other captains could not register even they tried. The admin had no time to take care of it.

So I make it:
Belgium (1) 3-0 [bye] Uruguay 3-0 China Mexico 0-3 Brazil Spain (8) 3-0 Nicaragua
Serbia (5) 2-1 United States Singapore 2-1 Kazakhstan Latvia 0-3 France Romania (4) 3-0 [bye]
Portugal (3) 3-0 [bye] Malaysia 0-3 Argentina Turkey 2-1 Philippines Slovakia (6) 3-0 Nigeria
Lithuania (7) 1-2 Poland Greece 1-2 England Banglagesh 1-2 Venezuela Australia (2) 3-0 [bye]
Unlucky to Greece - I thought they might have pipped us, a double Master win thanks to Lee Harding and Mike Bennett was thankfully enough to see us through!

Yep @Jonathan Beagles (M3) Finally, when stars are aligned, you can win ^^
Unluncky for Greece !
Poland have a hard battle against Lituania, your next figth will be the match ^^
We have also to look at others hard batles : Brasil - Spain (Advantage Brasil, missing 2 managers Portugal - Argentina (On bad day, Argentina is better than Portugal) Turkey - Slovakia (Yes last 3 races of Slovakia wasn't good, can be defeated)
Others seems easy, but we are never sure ! Belgium + Serbia + France + Australia
Probably 1/4th finals (for me): Belgium - Brazil Serbia - France Portugal - Turkey Poland - Australia
At final, don't forget, France win :)

Presuming that's the way it works, this is likely going to be tough for England to make it through I fear...but you never know! Most had us down to lose to Greece I think :P
