I came 2nd in my group in the fast ticker. I am now playing the team that won my group, surely this can’t be correct? I am Tottenham.

From Gabriel Cesario (admin)

I wouldn’t call it a bug but a non-desirable outcome of the algorithm used to generated the international cup finals matches. The only restrictions currently in place are:
- first placed teams must play against second placed teams in the round of 16
- teams are split in two pots, one with the “stronger” ones and another with the “weakers”…matches must consist of a team from each pot
- same country teams should not face each other unless inevitable

The rule you would like included (and one that makes a lot of sense by the way) is that teams from the same group should not face each other in the round of 16.

Cheers

Thanks for your reply. Yes I would agree with all you say, would be nice not to play the same team that you just played in the group stage. Maybe this could be added to the code.
