256-team double elimination tournament now available!

-

For the first time in the history of ball sports tournament simulators, a 256-team double elimination tournament has been available in the Forever World Cup Simulator. 

The tournament is divided into Winners and Losers Bracelet.

All 256 teams start in the Winners Bracket.

The winners bracket fixture

Teams that win their matches in the Winners Bracket continue advancing.

Teams that lose in the Winners Bracket are moved to the Losers Bracket, where they get a second chance to compete.

The losers braceket

Teams that lose in the Losers Bracket are eliminated from the tournament.

The final match is played between the last remaining team in the Winners Bracket and the last team standing in the Losers Bracket.

The Winners Bracket finalist needs to win only one match to claim the championship, while the Losers Bracket finalist must win two matches to become the champion.

Netherlands becomes the first champion of the double elimination tournament.

This revised tournament structure provides a more dynamic and engaging experience for both the teams and the audience. By allowing teams to continue competing even after a loss in the Winners Bracket, the tournament offers a greater opportunity for underdogs to make a comeback and potentially claim the championship title.

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

The Forever World Cup Simulator has just introduced a new feature called " Post Tournament Outcome " that adds an extra dynamic element to the gameplay. If the game world fails to reach the target of the outcome every year, the metric will go down. Once the metric hits a certain threshold, it will result in a game over, forcing the player to delete the save and start again. Each outcome has an expiration year, and once it has expired, it will no longer be applied to the save. Players can then select a new outcome after the previous one has expired. You can select these outcome on the homepage before you create a new event. Currently, there are two outcomes available for players to select.  Stalin's threat to nuke the world if their camp lose the competition. Doomsday Metric The "Doomsday Metric" is a new outcome that reflects the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War era. In this scenario, every time a team from the West or Non-NATO allies wins the competition,

Updated on 02 Apr 2024 :  This article is outdated. The simulator has just introduced many custom leagues or tournaments for you to play with. Here's the direct link to create Euro Cup 2024+. The new 24-team World Cup format is now available, which means you can also simulate a Euro 24 tournament. Follow these steps to run a Euro 24 simulation in less than a minute: 1. Choose Germany as the host country. Ignore the red colored warning for now. 2. Set the starting stage to "Group stage". 3. Choose "UEFA" for the "pick hosts from only one confederation" option. This ensures that a UEFA country is selected as the host instead of countries from other continents, allowing you to simulate a Euro tournament indefinitely. 4. Select "24" as the number of teams in the group stage. 5. Click the "Create World Cup 2026" button to start a custom tournament. 6. Now, on the tournament page, manually copy and paste the following teams into the tex
