5 subs from 12 in 3 stoppages + 1 in extra time was the only one I set for each of the competitions.

Hi again. I'm creating a set of Continental club competitions and in advanced rules and am getting the below message pop up when I try testing the rules. Not quite sure what this means, but a quick Google had someone asking the same thing and were given the answer of changing a setting to Custom Competition, though it didn't specify what setting that was. So a - is this how you fix it, and b - which setting would this be? (c - if it's not, how to you stop it?) Thanks for reading.

Hi all, I am currently creating a big dumb database where the worlds Champions League's are replaced by 339 tournaments (one for each Olympic event) and came across an issue. That issue has since been sorted (thank you @rusty217), but before that happened, in a vain attempt to sort the issue, I rejigged the English football pyramid to try and suit the 339 tournament database. It's seems a bit of a waste to just leave it dormant, so if you fancy a weird database to play, feel free to give this a go. The league is split into 9 tiers. Tier 1 20 Divisions of 3 with teams playing each other 8 times. The top team in each group go through to a Championship Round - 2 groups of 10, play each other once, top 2 in each group play the Semi-Finals. 2nd in each group go to 10 play-off groups of 2, where you play each other four times. Losers of these play-offs go to 5 play-off groups of 2 (these play-offs were supposed to provide qualification to a continental competition, now they just give teams something to do after Christmas). Bottom in each group is relegated to Tier 2 and basically has no second half of the season unless still in a cup competition. Tier 2 & 3 Same as above but the top teams also get promoted. Tier 4 Same as above, but with the 10 play-off groups of 2, it is the winners that go through to the 5 further play-off groups. Tier 5 & 6 Same as Tiers 1-4 but no 2nd place play-off groups. Tier 7 20 groups of 20, top team in each group is promoted to Tier 6. Bottom 3 relegated to Tier 8. Tier 8 Same as Tier 7 but 3 teams promoted from each group & bottom 2 teams relegated. Tier 9 20 groups of 10, top 2 teams promoted from each group. Featured 151 Under 18 teams. Cups FA Cup - Tiers 1 & 2 only Carabao Cup - Tiers 3 & 4 only Bristol Street Motors Cup - Tiers 5 & 6 only olympiceng.fmf

It seems to be working! I tested it for a couple of seasons on the game and everything was running correctly. HOORAY! Thank you so much for your help. Now to try and do the big scenario!

Yeah no problem. I've probably screwed something up haha. Sometimes it says 4 teams found on the pop up and every now and then it says 5 teams, which is weird? testy.fmf

I did, but it didn't seem to help. Did you save what you did to the test file I put on here? If yes, would it be cool to pop it on here too and I'll see if I've missed anything?

I'm still getting that the test Europa League is missing 2 teams? Would I be right in thinking that was to do with there being not enough teams from England in 2024?

Thank you for that. I'll have a tinker when I get from work and hopefully I can crack on with my big dumb plan haha.

I switched to advanced for it and basically copied how you did your Coupe de Napoleon when you posted it. Though I am still struggling with getting different teams in the other tournament. I'm running a test European set of tournaments using the Champions League & Europa League where the Champions League has a 90 team group stage (just to test if we get the 1st & 2nd tier teams) for England, Germany & Spain which seems to be working fine, and the Europa League which is a 6 team tournament using the next 2 2nd Tier sides in each country (just to test if that works). I've tried Sort Teams by Division (ascending) on both the Qualified Teams section and then tried on the Stage => Teams section, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm probably picking the wrong Sort By section, but would you be happy to check the file (have attached)? testy.fmf

This is going to seem like an obvious question, but how would one do this? I've look but I can't see which would be the way to do it? Also, how do you make it show under the Continents competitions and not the countries? Apologies for all the questions!

Ah awesome! I'll give it a go, fingers crossed.

While this is also useful, I did mean multiple Continental Competitions. So, as an example, if I was to setup a Champions League and a Europa League doing this, would different clubs be picked for each or would I need to specify the league positions for the ones I need in each?

Thank you for this. If I set up multiple competitions will it still bring up different clubs for each one via this method or would I need to set them finishing in a specific position in the league?

I'm making 339 custom continental competitions haha. Basically one for every Olympic event, using teams from each country that made the final (for race events) or tournament (knockout events). I couldn't work out how to add more than 20 teams per country so I started doing a weird convoluted way where I amend each countries system and so the winners of each tournament would qualify. For the more than 20 teams per country thing, I believe you said you can do it through Advanced on my previous post. What do you need to do for this as I am stumped (never really used advanced).

I also would want the Continental competitions to recognize the winners of the new competitions, would you not only be able to do that by merging the files?
