World Cup Restructuring

[andrewr2711]

Hi all

I've tried recreating the world cup qualifiers so there are no more intercontinental qualifiers and it allowing for better qualification for places like Oceania.

When i'm trying to verify, it gives a ranking level information error for the asian qualifiers. I've googled and messed around with it for quite a while and haven't had any luck.

Would anyone be able to give it a look over to see where i've gone wrong and how i can fix it?

You have no entry for rank 0 here:

Not sure the ranking levels are set up correctly either. I think I saw your first stage had 48 teams? It should only be the teams eliminated from that stage that get that ranking level, so not all 48 of them. Plus if that's using "Team qualified from this competition" that should be the teams that actually qualify for the WC, rather than the teams that go out in the first round. The bottom ranking is typically "Was competitive in this competition" or "No information".

Also, don't forget about the Asian Cup. The WC qualifiers double as Asian Cup qualifiers, so you'll either need to add Asian Cup qualification somehow, or create a separate qualifying tournament for that to make sure teams still get qualified.

That's definitely worked for that error. Everything else seems to be running correctly now. I'll make sure I re-do the asian cup too.

The only other issue i've got now is getting teams to qualify for the world cup. I've run through a few of the options but i can't seem to get the teams to actually qualify. They can win the qualifers and look like they qualify, but it doesn't push them through.
