Is there any way to get individual host nations for each group?

[Second Group Phase Fixed Draw]

I want to create a tournament with two group stages where the top two teams from each group advance to a second group stage kinda like the FIBA World Cup where say the top two teams from Group A and Group B join to make Group I. How do I fix the draw and how do I keep the result from the teams who advance and have already played?

If the parameters don't work out it'll just ignore some of them. Not sure if that setup could have any issues, the maths to work out if there could be a conflict is beyond me

You could try re-arranging the order of your rules, it could be that's it's doing them top to bottom, so it's just assigning teams to groups based on seedings before it gets to the continent limits. Try putting them at the top of the list and see if it makes a difference. Possibly a long shot though.

Oh and testing in the editor itself is significantly faster than testing in game. So you could try that for seeing if it works instead. You can test multiple years worth of WCs quicker too to make sure it isn't a 1 off coincidence if it does work out correctly as well.

Lol I wasn't testing in game I just got over zealous thinking that it wasn't gonna mess up this time

I've already got a sketch work for fixing it so it can't trip up.

Draws are fiddly and very difficult to get working how you want them to.

But for starters, how did you assign seedings? And how many teams have you got from each continent? I mean, it might not even be possible to meet those settings depending on how the seedings turn out.

I assigned the host team seed 0 (this is 2022 so it's Qatar), highest 15 ranked teams 1, next 16 highest 2, next 16 3, and the next 16 4. I think I followed one of your examples.

 

There are a maximum of 24 European teams and 13 for Africa, Asia, NA, 10 for SA, and 2 for Oceania. I haven't personally tried to do a draw but it the parameters didn't work wouldn't the test just crash?

I tried creating a 64 team world cup. I added "Avoid Teams From Same Continent Except Europe" and "Max Number of Teams per Continent" set to 1 for every continent except Europe which has 2. Yet every time I test it it never follows these rules. What am I doing wrong?

How do I set up an exception for host teams qualifying for international competition? Specifically with knockout games

I was trying to set up a U18 world cup and didn't want to have to remove the host for the wc in each of the confederations.

[Stadium selection issues]

I am currently trying to recreate the gold cup in fm editor. My plan was to use a different stadium every matchday as the gold cup usually does. However for some reason it only assigns one stadium. Is there any fix for this?

I'm trying to create an international cup with a preliminary knock-out round then a group stage

However none of the teams from the preliminary round are going to the next round and I get an error saying I'm two teams short. I initially created the competition in basic and just went to advanced so idk what exactly the issue is.

[Competition is trying to set up stages before previous stage is completed]

I'm having trouble completing a competition. I'm getting the warning "stage 3 has 0 teams, needs 8" but when I test the competition manually it stops months before the stage it depends on has started. Is there any way to fix this? I've got the first stage under the requirements to finish before the next stage can be set up yet the competition seems to be ignoring this

 

[Any way to prevent certain teams from advancing in international competition]

I'm trying to provide a path for Oceania teams to play in the Asian Cup. Asia uses World Cup qualifying for their Asian Cup qualifying as well I was trying to steer the Oceania teams out after the Asian Cup qualifying is done but I don't see a way to block them. Is there a way to block certain teams from qualifying for another competition or the next round?

[International call-ups restrictions]

When creating an international competition, is there any way to restrict international call-ups to certain leagues? I was thinking in terms of the offseason camps some international teams do but I also want to create competitions like the African Nations Championship which only allows domestic based players to play.
