Tournament Format

Saturday 28th January - Qualifying Tournament: 12:00 UTC
Sunday 29th January - Main Tournament: 12:00 UTC

The event will take place at the Sim Broadcasts Stadium and will use the [TC] Gaming Football InSim. We will be using the Football and XF GT Electric mods.
  • An LFS S3 license is required to enter the tournament.
  • Day one of the event will consist of a qualifying tournament (with exact format to be determined once the number of registered teams is determined), from which the best 8 teams will be determined (7 if the reigning champions register).
  • Day two of the event will consist of a knockout tournament with quarter-finals, semi-finals, a third-place playoff and the final.
  • Players will use the XF GT Electric.
  • Teams consist of 4 drivers each.
  • The number of teams that can enter the tournament is not limited.
  • Listen to referee instructions carefully.
  • Referee decisions are final.
  • No deliberate ramming.
  • Do not cross the yellow line in your half before the kickoff countdown has ended.
  • First offense, yellow card (warning), second offense red card (removal from match).
  • Car reset will be allowed.
The exact format of the qualification tournament is yet to be determined and will be based on the number of the teams that register.

The reigning champions of the Soccar Cup have an automatic qualification to Sunday’s tournament, should they wish to enter. If not, there will be one extra qualifying slot available.

The possible qualifying methods are:
  • Swiss system tournament (with Buchholz system used for tiebreaker), to determine the top 7 (or 8) teams qualifying for the main tournament.
  • A group stage with 4 groups, from which 7 (or 8) teams qualify for the main tournament.
  • Double knockout qualification, with the upper bracket and losers bracket qualifying for the main tournament, from which 7 (or 8) teams qualify for the main tournament.
The chosen system will ensure each team plays at least two games. When the signups are closed, the official qualification method will be announced and drawn. The qualification method will be the one that provides the least total games played with the total number of teams signed up. The exact procedure of the chosen qualifying method will be announced at the same time.

Qualifying games will consist of two halves, each of them 3 minutes long.

The main tournament on Sunday will be played out as a knockout tournament, consisting of quarter-finals, semi-finals, a third-place playoff (consisting of the two losing teams from the semi-finals), and the grand final match. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and third-place playoff will consist of two halves, each 5 minutes long. The final will consist of 6 minute halves. If a winner is not decided after full time in each game, an overtime match, with 3 minute halves is played to determine the winner of the game. If there is no winner after the 6 minute overtime, we will play for a golden goal.




Entering the tournament

There is no limit to the number of teams entering the tournament. Each team consists of 4 players. It is possible to sign up as an individual, a pair, a team of 3 or a full team of 4. If you sign up as an individual, you will be assigned to a team that has a vacancy.

For the 2023 tournament, you and your team have the option to fully customise your team identity. If you choose not to create your own team identity, the tournament organisers will assign one to you.

Teams customising their own identities will choose one colour for their “home” kit, and one colour for their “away” kit. They will use these colours in the qualifying tournament and during the main tournament if they qualify. These colours must be the base-colours of the liveries the team will use for the tournament. Different shades are permitted as long as it remains obvious which colour the team is representing. Available colours are:
  • Red: R (Hex: #FF0000)
  • Lime Green: G (Hex: #00FF00)
  • Yellow: Y (Hex: #FFFF00)
  • Blue: B (Hex: #0000FF)
  • Magenta: M (Hex: #FF00FF)
  • Cyan: C (Hex: #00FFFF)
  • White: W (Hex: #FFFFFF)
  • Black: K (Hex: #000000)
If you submit custom kits, you must use the templates attached (sbtvsc23-templates.zip). Kits should be submitted in the custom kit submission thread at least 24 hours before the start of the tournament.

Teams who choose not to customise their team kits can use skins from the skinpack that will be provided ahead of qualifying.

Teams can provide a logo in PNG format that must be at least 512px*512px in diameter. The logo can be placed on team kits and will be displayed on the broadcast graphics.

The name format for the event is as follows:

"[X] Name" where X is the colour of your team from the above list. For example, for the red team: [R] Name (^1[R] ^7Name). You will be instructed whether to play in your home or away colours before your match begins.

Default liveries for teams not submitting kits are now available to download: https://www.lfs.net/attachment/429617

These skins have already been uploaded to LFS World so there is no need for you to upload them yourselves.
Sign-ups are now closed! See you in qualifying tomorrow!

For those interested, check Soccar discord, there will be friendlies played tonight, so book your game slot early!
QUALIFYING DAY FORMAT

The Qualifying day will consist of two groups of five teams. Every team plays each other within the group in a round robin. Group stage games will consist of two halves, each of them 3 minutes long.

Group games will be played in alternation and are scored as follows:

- 3 points for a win
- 1 point for a draw
- 0 points for a loss

In case of a tie on points after the group stage, the following tie-breakers will be used:

1 Higher number of points in head to head matches
2 Goal difference in head to head matches
3 Goals scored in head to head matches
4 Goal difference in all group matches
5 Higher number of goals scored in group matches
6 Higher number of wins in group stage
7 If any of the above fail to decide a tie, an extra game will be played to decide the winner, with extra time being added, if necessary.

Top 3 teams from each group are qualified for the main event and will play for Sunday tournament seeding - first, second and third teams from group stage will play together (1st vs. 1st, 2nd vs. 2nd, 3rd vs. 3rd).
Fourth teams from each group will play an elimination game for the final spot in the Main tournament.
Fifth teams from each group are automatically eliminated.

Seeding/elimination games will consist of two halves, each of them 3 minutes long. If there is no winner after standard time, an extra time of 3 minutes will be added, until a winner is decided. Golden goal rule will apply.

Server info with password will be sent later today.
LSN Crew are our 2023 champions!
