Add teams from group stage to knock-out round for a different competition

[saintree]

Hey guys,

I am wondering how I could add teams from group stage to the knock-out rounds of an inferior competition. What I want to do is, all 3rd-place teams (and them only) from the group stage of the competition (lvl 0) qualify for Eighth Final of an inferior competition (lvl 1). A real-life example would be UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League, where all eight 3rd place teams from ECL Group stage qualify for Europa League Round of 32. Anyone has any idea how to achieve this, or has a file for me to look at?

Attached is my New European Leagues plan that consists of three levels. Arrows means losers from a stage of a superior league sink to an inferior league and start the corresponding round with the number of teams the arrows point at. You can see it is really chaotic at group stages (3rd of lvl 0 goes to lvl 1 Eighth Final, 4th of lvl 0 and 3th of lvl 1 go to lvl 2 Eighth Final) and it is a pain to set up---I end up with 1st teams of the corresponding team playing at or even 3 different competitions. Hope you guys can give me some suggestions...

Thanks!

In the Champions League rules, qualifying 3rd placed teams for the Europa League works by doing the following in the League Fate Actions for your higher ranked competition group stage:

Set Continental Cup, UEFA Europa League, 2, 2, 6 (The numbers corresponding with Top Position / Bottom Position / Continental Cup Seeding)
Set Continental Cup, , 3, 3 (The numbers corresponding with Top Position / Bottom Position)

For the Europa League equivalent I have the following in the Teams section of the required stage to grab the 3rd placed teams:

Get League Stage Teams, UEFA Champions League, 8, 3, 2, 2 (The numbers corresponding with Max No. Of Teams / Stage / Top Position / Bottom Position)

I copied that over to mine and it works. I'm not exactly sure why all of the numbers are what they are. Some of them I understand, but that's the requirement anyway. I had this same problem for years lol.

@kingrobbo any idea in regards to the numbers? The 6 in particular threw me off considering setting the seeding at 6 on paper would be inaccurate (I have 4 stages before I grab UCL teams for example).

Is there a sample file that I could refer to? That would help a great deal.

Added mine. Like I said, I copied it straight over from the real rules so  it may not make much sense on paper since my comps are laid out differently.

Hope this helps.

this is what you need to do the example I have is teams dropping from the Champions league into Europa after group stage is played

first pic is what is needed in europa

other 2 screenshots are the set up required in champions league

 

 

it can get complicated if you are not familiar with the advanced rules

good news is since last patch we are able to get to get fixture rules to work now in game and ffp rules in continental rules after they were bugged for several years

up to my neck with requests etc guys here and on other sites so please dont get offended if I dont get back to you got a lot on at the mo

and please be aware I dont do my own editing until last patch it out as there is no point due to possible conflict issues as happened in previous years

ignore the above editing fixture rules in continental comps is still bugged the rules appear in game as set up  as per above screenshots

 

but as a manager you get those 2 registration requests 1 with my rules other with old rules too

been playing as a europa league team encountered this issue in season 2

 

so bottom line its still bugged to hell

 

no point in editing these rules, it results in teams such as barca not picking any/ most first team players in squad

to teams only submitting min number squads, been working ages on this time to give up again
