New two-leg knockout tournament format now available.

-


The Forever World Cup Simulator has introduced a new two-leg knockout home-away format, which closely mirrors real-life international football tournaments:

  • The first leg and second leg matches are played with the teams alternating home and away.
  • If the total scores from the first leg and second leg regular time are the same, the match goes to extra time.
  • If the scores are still tied after extra time, the winner is decided by a penalty shootout.

To make the fixture less confusing or cluttered, the presentation has been tweaked with a few enhancements:

  • A divider has been added between each match-up to clearly separate the fixtures.
  • A small "W" label has been added to help identify the winner of two-leg playoff matches.

The 2-leg knockout fixture

As a result of this new format, the following custom leagues have had their knockout rounds upgraded to the two-legged home and away format:

New two-leg custom knockout tournaments have also been added, like 256-team two-leg knockout tournament.

It's important to note that the simulator does not allow users to simulate the second leg before the first leg, which is a logical restriction to maintain the integrity of the two-leg format.

New custom leagues and tournaments now available!

The World Cup simulator has recently introduced a wide range of custom leagues and tournaments. While this feature is experimental and requires a lot of clean-up, these leagues run fine and are suitable for casual simulations. Within these leagues, team seeding is determined by their most recent Elo ratings in-game.  An important note is that you need to simulate the league consecutively to retain the integrity of promotion and relegation. If you stop simulating the league, even for just a year, it would result in teams being reseeded and placed in divisions based on their latest Elo ratings.Let's talk about the format of each new league: UEFA Nations League: Mirroring the real-life league structure, it comprises 3 divisions with 4 groups per division and 4 teams per group. Each group has one promotion slot (except the top division) and a relegation slot (except the last division). Winners of each group in the top division advance to the knockout stage. Division C has the remaining
