HISTORY:
World Cup, formally FIFA World Cup, in football (soccer), quadrennial tournament that determines the sportās world champion. It is likely the most popular sporting event in the world, drawing billions of television viewers every tournament.
The first competition for the cup was organized in 1930 by the FĆ©dĆ©ration Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and was won by Uruguay. Held every four years since that time, except during World War II, the competition consists of international sectional tournaments leading to a final elimination event made up of 32 national teams. Unlike Olympic football, World Cup teams are not limited to players of a certain age or amateur status, so the competition serves more nearly as a contest between the worldās best players. Referees are selected from lists that are submitted by all the national associations.
The trophy cup awarded from 1930 to 1970 was the Jules Rimet Trophy, named for the Frenchman who proposed the tournament. This cup was permanently awarded in 1970 to then three-time winner Brazil (1958, 1962, and 1970), and a new trophy called the FIFA World Cup was put up for competition. Many other sports have organized āWorld Cupā competitions.
TOURNAMENT RULES:
2 Player Tournament. Premium only.
Each round will consist of 6x2 player games per round.
You choose your home game map (2 games). Your opponent chooses there home game map (2 games). And there will be 2xRandom Map games thrown in.
Settings will be Random each round within the parameters below:
Always Standard
Always Sequential
Esc/Flat Rate
Chained/Adjacent
Always Foggy
You get 3 points for a win.
1 for a draw.
0 for a defeat.
You need to win a minimum of 2 games from 6 or you are eliminated from the tournament. Regardless of how many points you have amassed.
The player with the highest cumulative points will get a bye in the next round. If points are equal it goes to Goal Differnce (Each game victory is a Goal For - GF. Each defeat is a Goal Against -GA). If still level it goes to total points scored in current Round, then Goal Difference in Current Round and finally the Time the games finish if still drawn. To be clear, this is by time the games finish. So it's in your interest to play as quickly as possible.
The number of Automatic Byes per round are dictated by the number of players remaining.
0-50 = 1
50-100 = 2
100-150 = 3
If an odd number of players are left after that then the next highest scoring player will also get a bye. AKA the 'Odd Man Bye'.
NOTE:
THE 12 HOUR RULE WILL APPLY. IF YOU JOIN THE GAME 2ND AND HAVE FIRST TURN THEN YOU MUST WAIT FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE TAKING YOUR SHOT SO THAT THE PLAYER GOING 2ND CAN SEE THE BOARD. YOU CAN ONLY TAKE YOUR TURN IN THE 1ST 12 HOURS IF THE OTHER PLAYER ADVISES HE HAS SAW THE BOARD IN THE GAME CHAT.
IF YOU TAKE YOUR TURN IN THE FIRST 12 HOURS WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING AND THE OTHER PLAYER COMPLAINS TO ME THEN YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOSE THAT GAME, GIVING YOUR OPPONENT A MAJOR ADVANTAGE.
TO BE CLEAR, JOINING THE GAME 2ND MEANS ACCPETING THE INVITATION AFTER THE FIRST PLAYER HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED. I WOULD SUGGEST PLAYERS JOINING THE GAME AFTER THE FIRST PLAYER HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED THE INVITATION SHOULD TAKE A SNAP SHOT BEFORE WAITING THE 12 HOURS.
FINALS:
Play will continue until 32 players remain, just like in the World Cup.. Then it is the Last 32, Last 16, Quarter Finals, Semi-Finals and Final. Points amassed at this point are almost discarded. They are only used for draw purposes.
If we move from 32 players to 31,30, 29, 28(Unlikely) then the highest scoring player will get a bye like in previous rounds.
If these games end up 3-3 then it goes to extra time (2 games on Random Map), and if it's still a draw, penalties. 1 game on Random Map.
Note: Extra Time and penalties will be played concurently. The Penalties result only being used if Extra Time is drawn.

YOU CAN ONLY TAKE YOUR TURN IN THE 1ST 12 HOURS IF THE OTHER PLAYER ADVISES HE HAS SAW THE BOARD IN THE GAME CHAT. IF YOU TAKE YOUR TURN IN THE FIRST 12 HOURS WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING AND THE OTHER PLAYER COMPLAINS TO ME THEN YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOSE THAT GAME, GIVING YOUR OPPONENT A MAJOR ADVANTAGE. TO BE CLEAR, JOINING THE GAME 2ND MEANS ACCPETING THE INVITATION AFTER THE FIRST PLAYER HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED. I WOULD SUGGEST PLAYERS JOINING THE GAME AFTER THE FIRST PLAYER HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED THE INVITATION SHOULD TAKE A SNAP SHOT BEFORE WAITING THE 12 HOURS. INCREDIBLE WORLD CUP FACTS YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW: 1. No Sex (Especially Acrobatic Sex) During the World Cup Many coaches ban their players from having sex during the World Cup. Coaches from teams including Germany, Spain, Mexico and Chile have all forbidden their players from having sex during the tournament. The mangers claim sex is a distraction and a waste of the playerās energy. Other managers, like Brazilās Luiz Felipe Scolari, have taken a more mixed approach. When asked his stance, he stated his players can have sex but are to abstain from more āacrobaticā forms of sex. To be honest, Iām not sure what defines acrobatic sex. Iām a little disappointed in the reporters for not asking such an important follow up question. Garreth Southgate, the Eng**nd Manager takes an in house approach. Only sex with each other is allowed. 2. Almost 50% of the Worldās 7.05 Billion People Watch the Cup Almost 3.2 billion people worldwide, roughly 46% of the worldās population, watched more than one minute of the 2010 World Cup. According to FIFA, this makes the tournament āthe worldās most widely viewed sporting event.ā While itās amazing that 46% of the world united to watch a single event, itās arguably more incredible that 2 billion people, or about 29% of the world, sat down to watch more than 30 minutes of the Cup. To put things into perspective, letās compare viewership of the 2014 Super Bowl to the final match of the 2010 World Cup. The Seahawkās win over the Broncos was seen by 111.5 million people while Spainās 2010 victory had over 909 million viewers. I realize that as the Super Bowl is a predominantly US event and the World Cup is a worldwide tournament, this is somewhat comparing apples to oranges. Even still, the fact that almost a billion people watched a single soccer match is mind blowing. 3. The 2014 World Cup in Brazil is the Most Expensive Put on So Far, By a LOT Bloomberg estimates Brazil will spend more than 30 billion reals (or $14.5 billion dollars) to host the World Cup. If this ridiculously high dollar amount doesnāt blow your mind, compare Brazilās $14.5 billion dollar price tag to the cost of the last five tournaments combined of $15.37 billion dollars. Amazingly, Brazil spent almost as much on one tournament as the past five countries spent on the five tournaments. A breakdown of the costs can be seen below. 1994 (US) ā $30 million 1998 (France) ā $340 million 2002 (Japan/South Korea) ā $5 billion 2006 (Germany) ā $6 billion 2010 (South Africa) ā $4 billion 4. In a poll ran by FIFA, Scotland was not only voted the unluckiest team in World Cups, but also, their fans, 'The Tartan Army' were also voted the best fans in the world by their peers. Eng**nd fans did not fare well in the poll. 5. And lastly the most interesting fact. Eng**nd were the 1st team to cheat in a World Cup Finals. Prior to 1966 Finals in Eng**nd the host country were drawn randomly, like the other entrants into groups, and dependant on which group you were drawn into dictated which Stadia you played your games in. Eng**nd changed the rules to allow them to play all there games at their National Stadium, Wembley Stadium. This fact, an offside goal and a dodgy referee will forever tarnish their lucky win. After reading this, if you are brave enough to represent the 3 Lions I saulte you. (-: GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Games will be set up Circa 10-12 Hours from the time of this Mail. To Sort into Game Order, Scroll to right and Sort by the Column 'Game Number' to put it into Draw Order. - Italy 'A' Team v Denmark, MEP (21st Seed) v Joxter14 (59th Seed) - Both on 3 points!!!! - Australia 'A' Team v Kyrgyz Republic, Elswick (38th Seed) v The shock troops of Round 1, Silvertop's KR.

I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO RUIN THEIR TOURNAMENT BY BREAKING THE FOG RULE. READ AND COMPLY! NOTE: THE 12 HOUR RULE WILL APPLY. IF YOU JOIN THE GAME 2ND AND HAVE FIRST TURN THEN YOU MUST WAIT FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE TAKING YOUR SHOT SO THAT THE PLAYER GOING 2ND CAN SEE THE BOARD. YOU CAN ONLY TAKE YOUR TURN IN THE 1ST 12 HOURS IF THE OTHER PLAYER ADVISES HE HAS SAW THE BOARD IN THE GAME CHAT. IF YOU TAKE YOUR TURN IN THE FIRST 12 HOURS WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING AND THE OTHER PLAYER COMPLAINS TO ME THEN YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOSE THAT GAME, GIVING YOUR OPPONENT A MAJOR ADVANTAGE. TO BE CLEAR, JOINING THE GAME 2ND MEANS ACCPETING THE INVITATION AFTER THE FIRST PLAYER HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED. I WOULD SUGGEST PLAYERS JOINING THE GAME AFTER THE FIRST PLAYER HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED THE INVITATION SHOULD TAKE A SNAP SHOT BEFORE WAITING THE 12 HOURS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 2 UPDATE: This is an EPIC update. SHOCKS AND SCANDALS hit the CCFA World Cup. Before that though, as we are still in the early Rounds, some crazy horses are still in. Some players just can't resist breaking those Fog Rules. Loads of players lost games due to breaking them. Beware. It's usually around Rd 3/4 when they have all been eliminated that the Fog issues disappear. 1 Deserter to report. FoBoss Never Accepted 2 Sets of Invites, As such, is eliminated from the Tournament. And now for the Round Update of the DECADE!!!!! - Joxter14 Broke Fog Rules in 2 games. As a result, Denmark go out the Tournament with a whimper. On Max points after Round 1 games Joxter throws it all away with the 2 game deduction. MEP's Italy 'A' Team takes maximum advantage and points with the 5-1 win. - One of the Big Guns Crash Out in Rd 2. Furbiz's 19th Seeds United States 'A' Team, joint Rd 1 Leaders on 3 points crash and burn at the hands of Slovenia under FuatPanza ranked 29th. Furbiz blamed the CCFA for the early exit. He was WRONGLY Accused of Breaking Fog Rules in another Fog Tournament 10 minutes before his match started. This undoubtedly un-nerved him before his 5-1 Defeat. Conquer Club Football Association (CCFA) were un-available for comment. His exit severly dents the USA's hopes of lifting the World Cup. USA has 1/3 Teams remaining in the Tournament. Slovenia up to 4 Points. - Among the Dark Horses to win the World Cup with 35th AND 65th Seeds, Malta crash out in Round 2. In Valletta, black flags fly and people are wearing black armbands. Glorious L's Sweden 'A' Team were respnsible, humiliating Strategy_Masters Malta 'A' Team 5-1. Sweden 'A' Team up to 6 points and looking good! - On paper this was a tight Match Up. In reality, the Rock of Gibraltar crumbles. 37th Seeds, DavidCrome's Gibraltar exit the Tournament at the hands of Shoop76's 23rd Seeds Netherlands 'B'Team. Shoop on Max Points with a +8 GD. - Peru Eliminates the pre-tournament 13th Seeds England 'B' Team. Dealing a devastating Blow to Englands Title hopes. When Avi8or was interviewed immediately after the match he said, and I quote exactly: ""I am the best in the world! I am the best in the world! I have beaten Murphy16 in Risk!! It is completely unbelievable! I have beaten Murphy16! England, birthplace of giants. Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana--I have beaten them all. I have beaten them all. Boris Johnson can you hear me? BoJo, I have a message for you in the middle of the Covid Crisis. I have a message for you: We have knocked England 'B' Team out of the CCFA World Cup. Boris Johnson, as they say in your language in the boxing bars around Madison Square Garden in New York, Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!". Avi8or was very emotional. If you want to hear the actual commentary, you should really watch this. CLASSIC! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOwWCsP3zh8 - Shoe555's Germany 'A' Team move moves up to a commanding 6 points with a +4 GD. Conversley, Shoes opponent Larry46's Nicaragua survives on Zero points with a -4 Goal Difference. - UPSET REICHTER SCALE 6: Among the pre-tournament Dark Horses, Canada have now lost 2/3 Teams. This one, totally un-expected. 64th Seed DrJusticles KO's ActorDay's Canada 'B' Team 5-1. Actor was on Max points after Rd 1 and was 496 points higher ranked than the Doc. But, the Doc puts ActorDay to sleep in Rd 2. DrJusticles=DrDeath! And to FINNISH.......................................................................... - No Tie in this Match. Thailand 'A' Team destroy the Finland 'B' Team 5-1 in Rd2. Keefie up to 6 points with a +6 GD. Fersum goes back to Helsinki to face the music. - 11Mi15's Belgium get off the Mark in Rd2 in Style! This is an upset of EPIC proportions. 11Mi15 all but ends Finland's hopes of lifting the World Cup. He humiliated 7th Seeds DP757's Finland 'A' Team 5-1. With the Finnish 'B' Team also out in Rd2, the Finnish are pretty much finished! - Wow, just WOW! In Round 2, we have witnessed one of the biggest Team Collapses in World Cup History. It's official, THE FINNS ARE FINISHED!. Hippopotamus's Finland 'C' Team was on a Max 3 points after Rd 1. But, in Rd 2, they lose all, SC Man's Colombia wins 5-1 to send Finland reeling out of the Tournament. ALL 3 FINLAND TEAMS EXIT THE WORLD CUP IN RD 2. FINLAND FOLDED LIKE A PACK OF CARDS!!!!!! 'Live' Scoreboard is attached to the Tournament Thread (Bottom of Lengthy 1st post). - Players highlighted Red have completed ALL Rd 2 games. - Yellow Blocks, the mark of shame, players who have broke Fog Rules in this or other Fog Tournaments. - Red Blocks, Matches with games to be deducted for one of the players breaking Fog Rules. - Eliminated Players, Players eliminated in Rd 2 so far.

GL! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 2 COMPLETE / ROUND 3 DRAW: I never expexted that...................In Rd 2....................................17 (Seventeen) Players left the building!!! That was a cut throat Round. Here are the remaining highlights: - 38th Seed Elswick is playing amazing Risk. He's up to Max Points and a +10 GD with his 5-1 demolition of Silvertop's Kyrgyz Rep. They've stopped dancing on the streets of Kyrgyz. - 2nd Seeds NZ 'A' Team get a great win in Rd 2. They were up against Krull5's 14th Seeds Portugal 'A' Team. All Black Rugby comes out as the 4-2 winners to move up to MAX points. Krull Survives though. - Ohhhhhh Man, Big Score here. Coors1's Canada 'A' Team ranked 5th World Wide KO 28th Seeds WeaselShane's Oman 5-1. - ROI looking good. With a 5-1 win over NZ 'C' Team, Kendoh99's 'B' Team moves up to MAX points and a +8 GD. Doctor Spin spirall's out of the Tournament in Rd 2. NZ have 2 teams remaining. - ToonArmy ALMOST causes a Tsunami. He beats EvilSem but fell 1 Goal Short of eliminating him. He wins 4-2, being 773 points LOWER ranked pre-tournament, itās a bit of an upset. France 'C' Team up to 4 points, and USA 'B' Team remain on 3 points. - Scotland AKA The Blue Brazil 'B' Team got a Tough Draw v 1st Seeds Wales 'A' Team who were coming off a humiliating 1st Rd Defeat. 1st Seed Wizz00's Wales are still looking for their 1st win!!. SimplyRed60 fights out a great 3-3 Draw to move up to 4 points. For the sake of the Tournament, 1 Scotland Team MUST make the Quarter Finals, #NoScotlandNoParty - Marand's 8th Seeded NZ 'B' Team pick up their 1st points of the Tournament with a great 4-2 win over Spider.Ear's Mexico.

With the 4-2 defeat AKABob2's Norway 'B' Team survive on Zero points. - Predicted Score: Germany 'B' Team under MyTurnToWin, sneaks a very close match up 4-2 v Mark the Menace's Sweden 'B' Team. - Serreski's Thailand 'B' Team look menacing. They are up to MAX points with another 4-2 win over RickMorales Brazil. Rick survives on Zero points. - Predicted Score: In the battle of Wales FC1966 comes out on top. The Welsh 'C' Team did break the Fog Rules 4 times mind you and started 4-0 down!! Ghengis Khunt (4down) did make it hard for FC1966's Wales 'B' Team but looks like the player with the horrible username is taking it 5-1. - CL0WN FAC3's Leichtenstein are the next Team to leave us, actually reminds me of almost freezing to death in Leichtenstein when I was there watching Scotland. I have the unfortunate memory of how much a taxi costs from Vaduz to Zurich! Sorry folks, reminiscing, B00060's Croatia up to 6 points with a +6GD. Now, Zagreb, what a trip that was. - NI and SonOfAbs are absolutely flying. They're up to MAX points with a 5-1 humping of CcaTeacher's Germany 'C' Team. With the elimination, that's Germany down to 2 teams remaining. - Krolt does a Bolt. JJ41375 the 6-0 winner in a fine display of 'Total' Risk. JJ's Poland up to MAX Points and a +8 GD. Antigua and Babbuda the next country exiting the CCFA World Cup. As ever, with Predicted Scores, Actual Score will be updated if different.

Both have MAX Points and a +10 GD. - It's very close for the Odd Man Bye, 6 players are on MAX Points with +8 GD. It goes all the way to GD in current Rd then time finished.

The Entire Scoreboard is attached on the Tournament Thread (Bottom of lengthy 1st post). It's attached in a White Box for those that can't find it. Orange Blocks are players with Predicted Scores. Yellow Cards, the mark of shame for breaking fog rules either in this or other Tournaments. Round 3 Preview: After Bye's in Rd 1, Craig25's Scotland AKA The Blue Brazil 'A' Team and Triple6's Iceland re-enter play. MEP and Elswick are on Round Hero Byes. 49 Players Progress to Round 3. 2 Hero Byes Later and 47 are left to take part. An ODD Number, so the 'Odd Man' Bye is 'Live'. JJ41375 joins MEP and Elswick in Rd 4. We are playing for 2 Round Hero Byes this Round. Games will be set up 12-16 hours from the time of this mail. In Round 3, 23 Match Ups take place consisting of 138 games. Everybody should download the SCOREBOARD. You would want to see if your opponent has FOG Form by being on a YELLOW Card. Plus, it contains the FULL Draw. Just sort it by the 'Game Number' Column on the right of the spreadsheet to put it into draw order. The featured Match Up's are below: - Coors1 v EnormaStitz - Canada 'A' Team v Eritrea - 5th Seed v 16th Seed - JSeal v HorseAttacks - England 'A' Team v Switzerland - 6th v 18th Seed. I was 100% Neutral on this one, but, I just had 1 triangle of a Toblerone so I guess I'm getting right behind Switzerland on this one! - Loose Canon v Wizz00 - Nigeria v Wales 'A' Team - 15th v 1st Seed. Can the Welsh 'A' Team get their 1st win??? - ToonArmy09 v Larry46 - France 'C' Team v Nicaragua - 79th v 54th Seed. Can the Tournament underdogs keep up this amazing run? Now, for those of you think I give the England Teams a hard time in this Tournament. England are Scotlands biggest rivals. But, in every WC and Euro's, after Scotland, the 2nd Team I always hope will qualify is England. 100% True. The reason being, if your own team don't make it, it's always good to support another team right from the start of the Tournament and get behind them 200%, support them like your supportung your own country. And, with England qualifying, that gives us all 31 Teams to get right behind from the start. OKAY FOLKS, GL and REMEMBER FOG RULES WHICH APPLY TO ROUND 1 OF ALL GAMES! FOG RULE: UNDERSTAND AND COMPLY FOLKS! Don't f*ck up your Tournament! THE FOG RULE IS IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE PLAYER ACCEPTING GAME INVITES FIRST. THE 12 HOUR RULE WILL APPLY. IF YOU JOIN THE GAME 2ND AND HAVE FIRST TURN THEN YOU MUST WAIT FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE TAKING YOUR SHOT SO THAT THE PLAYER GOING 2ND CAN SEE THE BOARD. YOU CAN ONLY TAKE YOUR TURN IN THE 1ST 12 HOURS IF THE OTHER PLAYER ADVISES HE HAS SAW THE BOARD IN THE GAME CHAT/WALL/ OR MAIL. IF YOU TAKE YOUR TURN IN THE FIRST 12 HOURS WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING AND THE OTHER PLAYER COMPLAINS TO ME THEN YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOSE THAT GAME, GIVING YOUR OPPONENT A MAJOR ADVANTAGE. TO BE CLEAR, JOINING THE GAME 2ND MEANS ACCPETING THE INVITATION AFTER THE FIRST PLAYER HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED. WHEN YOU ACCEPT GAME INVITES 2ND, THE GAME STARTS IMMEDIATELY. MEANING YOU CAN TAKE AN IMMEDIATE SNAP SHOT. MEANING THE PLAYER WHO ACCEPTED THE GAME INVITES FIRST CAN TAKE HIS SHOTS IMMEDIATELY AS YOU ARE AT NO DIS-ADVANTAGE. I WOULD SUGGEST PLAYERS JOINING THE GAME AFTER THE FIRST PLAYER HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED THE INVITATION SHOULD TAKE A SNAP SHOT BEFORE WAITING THE 12 HOURS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 3 UPDATE: This one's going to be a belter! But 1st, European Super League is going to Kick Off really soon guys, if you havn't already enetered, you don't have long left. If you are enyojing this tournament, the EURO SUPER LEAUGE will surpass this!https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=234833 Now, before the Round 3 update. After Round 2 was concluded we were mailed Newspaper Reports from the Kyrgyz Republic. For those of you who don't speak Kyrgyz, I have translated into English, and apologies, my Kyryz is a little rusty................................................ "Chingiz Otunbayev, Kyrgyz' coach wasn't amused after his teams defeat 1-5, his comment to CCFA was as follows : "First of all I want to congratulate Elswick with the victory, well earned and a name to look out for in this World Cup! But my complaints go out to CCFA. We couldn't start in any of the 6 big maps and everybody knows that taking first play in a big map with many troopdeploy is a very big advantage. So in fact we were already lost before we even started. The only game we won was Spanish Armada, a big map but the only one where starting first isn't an advantage. That's why the Kyrgyz football association will file a complaint against CCFA for not dividing an amount of games between the 2 teams. It would only be normal if you have a cluster of 6 games that both teams would start in 3 of them or if necessary one team in 2 or 4 games, but not starting at all in 6 games is an outrage." Later that day Otunbayev got sacked by the KFA. Craig25, President of the CCFA was un-available for comment. And...................now the Round 3 Update. 65 out of 138 games are completed this Round, if still playing, time to pick up the pace: - I (Craig25) couldn't start in any of the 6 big maps and everybody knows that taking first play in a big map with many troopdeploy is a very big advantage. So in fact I was already lost before I even started. Final Score GloriousL's Sweden 'A' Team 3 v 3 Craig25's Scotland AKA The Blue Brazil 'A' Team..... (-: 1 point a piece! - All Black Rugby's NZ 'A' Team sends Diego's lot back to Buenos Aires on the back of a 6-0 Trouncing. DrJusticles leaves the Tournament on 3 points. DrJusticles and Diego leaves the Tournament with the CCFA President Craig25's best wishes and with a gift to The Scotland Player of the Year (1986): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz4RQXMbbf4 - 30th Seeds Thailand 'B' Team under Serreski just can't stop winning. He seems to aim for 4-2 every Round. It's his 3rd in a row!! Alec.Ramsden's Jamaica were the latest 2 goal losers. Serreski up to MAX points with a +6 GD, bye material surely. - Thailand are quickly becoming Tournament Favourites. Thatās the 9th Seeded 'A' Team under Keefie also up to MAX points with a 4-2 win over the Norway 'A' Team under EspenOvergaard - Korea DPR under Yorkie Pudding got a really tough draw v 22nd Seeds Germany 'A' Team under Shoe555. But the pressure of Kim Jong-Un holding his family captive seems to be giving him amazing inspiration. He was ranked 838 points LOWER, but fights out a 3-3 Draw, amazing! It's his 3rd Draw in a row! - Fuat Panza and Slovenia v Aalii and Uruguay. This was a 6 goal thriller. Slovenia came out the 4-2 winners. Fuat up to 7 points, Aalii survives on 1 point. The scoreboard attached to the Tournament Thread is 'Live'. To find it go to Tournaments Tab at top of your screen. Search Touranaments by Tournament Organizer:Craig25, scroll down to the bottom of the lengthy 1st post and it's attached in a white box. GL for the rest of the round Troops! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 3 COMPLETE / ROUND 4 DRAW: That Round was possibly the most exciting of the World Cup to date. And that is in a World Cup where we are averaging 6 Goals EVERY game! (-: The remaining Highlights of Round 3 are below: - 5th and 16th Seeds Risk brilliance cancels each other out and they share a point each. Canada 'A' Team 3 v 3 Eritrea, Coors1 3 v 3 Enormastitz - What was a close match up on paper (23rd v 24th Seeds) was too close to call. But Triple6's Iceland shaded it 4-2 v Shoop76's Netherlands 'B'Team. - 11Mi15's Belgium deal a blow to ROI's hopes of winning the World Cup. He beats Kendoh99's ROI 'B' Team who had won 2/2 before Rd 3! Belgium up to 6 points, ROI 'B' remain on 6. - 3rd win on the Bounce for Avi8or's Peru. This Rd, 5-1 v 78th Seeds Colombia. Colombia exit the Tournament! - 42nd v 36th Seeds. 42nd Seeds Mexico win a 6 goal thriller to come out 4-2 winners V B00060's Croatia. Both now on 6 points with 2/3 wins and 1/3 loss. - 4th Seeds Turkey win in emphatic Style. The Germany 'B' Team under MyTurnToWin crash out of the Tournament after a 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Maroshka851. Turkey looking good. Violence erupts in multiple German cities, for those that don't know, when Germany play Turkey, it's always the case. - Dragon Dor's France 'A' Team deal an almost mortal blow to Scotlands chance of lifting the World Cup. He scuds SimplyRed60's Scotland 'B' Team 6-0. Simply was on 4 points after 2 Rounds, Simply was captured on Camera as the Dragon's 6th goal went in: At 5.05 Minutes. An Iconic Moment. A brief history of Scotlands Argentina World Cup, sex scandal before it, Scottish Player got thrown out of the World Cup for Drug Taking, AMAZING! V.Good Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6_FLwLO0I0 - YouOnKazoo's Ghana move up to 7 points. They hammer AKABob's Norway 'B' Team 6-0 to send AKA back to Oslo on ZERO points. Norway down to 1 Team! - France 'C' Team, under ToonArmy09, who manages his team in a Jack Chrlton'esque type of way picks up his 2nd win of the Tournament. His inspitration is getting remarkable results from the 79th Seeded team. They beat 54th Seeds Nicargua under Larry46 4-2. Larry survives on Zero points after 3 4-2 defeats, the TA up to 7 Points. And, 5 Predicted Results to finish the Round. Where a player is being Eliminated, the results are 99.99999% Nailed on. But, if actual scores are different or devine intervention occurs and a player survives, actual scores will be updated and players re-inserted back into the Tournament if necessary. Players in Orange Blocks on the Scoreboard have Predicted Scores: - Predicted Score: Another player wins 3 on the trot. Wales 'B' Team ends one of the countries Tournaments who were among the Pre-Tournaments Favourites to lift the World Cup. FC1966 (worst username in history of usernames), Scuds Evil Semp's USA 'B' Team 5-1. USA 'A' Team - OUT!, USA 'B' TEAM - OUT!, USA 'C' TEAM - OUT! - Predicted Result: This is delicately poised on 3-2 to Loose Canon. The last can go either way. As both players are through, we can run with a Predicted Score of 4-2 to Loose Canon, Actual Score will be updated if different. - Predicted Result: The 14th Seeds Portugal 'A' Team get their Tourney started with their 1st win. The 4-2 for Krull5 came against IGotAIShed's 33rd Seeds Israel. Both now on 4 points. Israel +2 GD, Krull on +0 GD. - Predicted Score: ANOTHER player and Country exit the World Cup. The Dutch 'A' Team in a display of Total Risk, destroy RickMorales's Brazil 5-1 to send them back to Rio to face the music. Already Brazilian newspapers are saying it's the worst ever Brazilian squad to play in the World Cup. Newpaper Reports suggest RickMorales is for the chop. - And the most complicated last. Genghis Khunt's Wales 'C' Team comes back from the dead. Clinching a 4-2 defeat In 'ROUND 2' (NOT THIS ROUND) from what looked like a certain 5-1 defeat. He is re-inserted back into the tournament and paired with the 'Odd Man' Bye winner in Rd 3, Poland's JJ41375. Predicted Result: JJ41375 5-1 Genghis Khunt. This time I am 99.99% certain that this is the final score! JJ's Poland up to a 9 point MAX with a +12 GD. Genghis's Wales 'C' Team is outta here, survival this time requires devine intervention, or JJ contracting Long Covid and going into a Coma. Both unlikely JJ so don't panic! ROUND 3 SUMMARY: 50 Teams started that Round, so we were playing for 2 Round Hero Byes and an 'Odd Man' Bye. 8 Players were eliminated (too many to mention) and 4 Countries are out: USA Columbia Brazil Argentina - 7 Players share the Lead on the Max 9 points. On Goal Difference (+12), All Black Rugby & JJ41375 win the Round Hero Byes and go straight to Rd 5! - Avi8or & maroshka851 are on +10 GD, but one won 6-0 in Rd 3 and one won 5-1. Courtesy of the 6-0, maroshka851 is on the 'Odd Man' Bye, but will an odd Number of Players remain???? - The other 3 players on MAX points are Keefie, fc1966 and serreski - Highest Ranked Player still playing is 1st Seed Wizz00's Wales 'A' Team on 1 point!! World Cup Shocker for Wales! - Lowest Ranked Player still standing is Toonarmy09's France 'C' Team, Ranked 79/84 pre-tournament on 7 points!!!!! - 1 Player still remains alive on Zero points after 3x 4-2 defeats: 54th Seed Larry46's Nicaragua.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 4 Complete / Round 5 DRAW: That was a crazy Round, most countries now only have 1 Team remaining in the competition. Here are the remaining highlights of Round 4: - Avi8or's Peru up to MAX points. So many players are flying in this Tournament!. In Round 4, Kendoh99's ROI 'B' Team are his latest victims, crashing out of the Tournament 5-1. RPI now down to 1 Team remaining! - Thailand 'A' Team under Keefie move onto max points with a 4-2 win over Spider.Ear's Mexico. Thailand will probably still be fav's to lift the Cup after this result. Keefie is on the MAX 12 Points! - In a close match up on paper, Croatia KO's the Wales 'B' Team 6-0. Totally dents Wales's chance of lifting the World Cup. That's them down to 1 team remaining from 3. Croatia move into contention on 9 points. Wales 'B' are KO'd having ALREADY been on 9 points. FC1966 0 v 6 B00060. - Netherlands looking good for the Cup. Tin Trumpet's 'A' Team win a close match v MarkTheMenace's Sweden 'B' Team, 4-2. The Dutch up to 10 points. The Sweeds on 4! - Montevideo is the capital of Uruguay. And thatās where our 51st Seed Aalii is going. 24th Seed Triple6's Iceland scuds Aalii's Uruguay to send them on the 1st plane home. Triple up to 9 points. ROUND 4 SUMMARY: At the start of the Round we had dropped from 84 Entrants to 42. That Round we dropped from 42 to 38 Teams remaining. I am actually going to suggest a change to the Tournament Format here. It's your guys Tournament so voice up if you have thoughts on it. Majority wins. Currently the KO stages are set to start at the LAST 16 Stage. I think we should mirror the World Cup and start the KO Phase at the Last 32. Thoughts? - maroshka851's Turkey are the Round Heroes of Round 4. They are on MAX points with a +16 Goal Difference. Won 20, Lost 4, WOW! - Avi8or's Peru are on the Odd Man Bye with MAX points and a +14 Goal Difference. But, will an odd number of players remain? - The other player on MAX points is Keefie's Thailand 'A' Team with a +10 Goal Dufference. Keefie misses a Bye with a whisker. Unlucky. - Top seed remaining alive is 1st Seeded Wales under Wizz00 on 2 points. A nightmare Tournament for the pre-tournament favourites! - Lowest Seeded Team still standing is ToonArmy09's France 'C' Team, seeded 79/84 Pre Tournament. The TA are on 7 points. ROUND 5 Preview: 38 Teams start this Round, an even number, but with the Round Hero Bye that leaves 37 to compete. So an ODD Number, the 'Odd Man' Bye is 'Live'. Avi80r Joins MAroshka851 in Round 6! 18 Match Up's take place in this Round, comprising 108 Games. The 'Live' Scoreboard and entire Round 5 Draw is attached to the Tournament Thread: But here are some of the most interesting Match Ups: - Thailand 'A' Team v England 'A' Team - Keefie v jseal - 9th v 6th Seed - 12 v 7 Points - Netherlands 'A' Team France 'C' Team - Tin Trumpet v Toonarmy09 - 10th v 79th Seeds - 10 v 7 Points. Can the Dark horses survive again? Tough Draw! - Sweden 'A' Team v New Zealand 'B' Team - GloriousL v marand - 20th v 8th Seeds - 8 v 5 Points. - Scotland AKA The Blue Brazil v Wales - craig25 v Wizz00 - 11th v 1st Seeds - 7 v 2 Points. How did that happen???

How will he fare without that points boost??????????? - Enormastitz's Eritrea played out an edgy affair with FuatPanza's Slovenia. But, the 16th Seeds ran out the 4-2 WINNERS and are the 2nd team in the Quarter Finals! An amzing Tournament from the 29th Seeds Slovenia! - Kevi's 52nd Seeds Spain take the 12th Seeds Big Jumbo's Rep of Ireland to Extra Time! The 52nd Seeds are the lowest ranked Team still standing, can they cause a SHOCK???? - A close match up on paper turned out to be very close on the Risk Board. It was 18th v 23rd Seedā¦...........Switzerland v Netherlands 'B' Teamā¦..........HorseAttacks v Shoop76ā¦........The Tobeleroners won it!, just like the chocolate bars they are hard to break down. HorseAttacks wins 4-2! Good Luck for the rest of the Round, next update will be the QUARTER FINALS kicking off! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But it was B00060 and Croatia who took it 4-2 v the fancied 20th Seeded Sweden under GloriousL.

Although, as we are at the Last 16 stage, if the actual score is different then Serreski will be re-instated, Triple 6 Eliminated and ties replayed as required.

QUARTER-FINALS COMPLETE / SEMI-FINALS:
The Quarters did'nt disappoint. Total drama!
Here are the highlights:
- Wow, 24th Seeds Triple 6's Iceland fall at the hands of the dark horses from Northern Ireland under SonOfAbs. It was close, but the 4-2 win was enough to see the 43rd Seeds through!
- Close Match Up between Big Jumbo's ROI and Eritrea and Enormastitz. It was 12th v 16th Seed and it did'nt disappoint. Eritrea JUST managed to edge it with a 4-2 win to put Enorma in the SEMI's. Unlucky Big Jumbo!
- HorseAttacks gets 2-0 startey for B00060 breaking Fog Rules in 2 games. B00060 goes apoplectic. Every excuse was made under the Sun!: "I posted my moves, I was playing on my phone, I have too many games, I never report people who break the rules, the dog ate my howework, wahh, waahhh, wahhhh". All to no avail.....He cried like a baby...........He couldn't accept that he had to play by the Rules and accept the 2 lost games. I mean, who can blame him, I already have 84/85 Players playing by the rules, I think he thought I was being too optimistic asking for him also to play by the Rules. Anyway, needless to say, B00060 has been PUMPED out of every future Tournament I hold, including this one obviously. HorseAttacks 18th Seed Switzerland went on to take a 4-0 lead with 2 to play. Starting 2-0 up this was a Gimme in the Quarters!
- the 10th Seeds Netherlands under Tin Trumpet are showboating. They are 4-1 up against 21st Seeds Italy & MEP. With only 1 game left in the Match Up, it's not enough for a comeback. WE PROGRESS TO THE SEMI's!

CCFA WORLD CUP FINAL:
From 84 Entrants we are down to just 2.............................................................
In 2 SPECTACULAR Semi-Finals, here is what happened:
- Northern Ireland are the 1st team to reach the World Cup Final. Unexpectedly, the Republic of Ireland also celebrate the HISTORIC 4-2 Victory over HorseAttacks Switzerland. With Brexit and Boris Johnson in power Eire are hopeful of a United Ireland before the Final Kicks Off so that they can also play in the final! Commiserations to HorseAttacks, he amassed a HUGE 18 Points, but fell 1 Round short. UNLUCKY!
- Wow, just Wow. An absolute nightmare for Enormastitz's Eritrea. In a display of TOTAL RISK Tin Trumpet's Netherlands PUMPS Eritrea 6-0. If this wasn't bad enough, 'The Trumpet' is Enorma's Brother in Law. Imagine your whole family knowing that your Brother in Law is a better Risk player than you and pumped you 6-0 in the World Cup Final just to prove it?????? DEVASTATING!
So............................THE FINAL PREVIEW:
Netherlands, Stadia: Conquer Rome, Player: Tin Trumpet, Seeded: 10th, 25 Points
V
Northern Ireland, Stadia: Peloponnessian War, Player: sonofabs, Seeded: 43rd, 24 Points
This will be the 1st time they have faced wach other in this World Cup. Points amassed are almost identical so next to nothing to split them. 10th Seed v 43rd is a decent advantage though. However, they have played each other a TOTAL of 3 times in 2 Player games, and SonOfAbs won 2!
ODDS:
Netherlands / Tin Trumpet - 5/6
Northern Ireland / Son Of Abs - EVS
Okay Guys, REMEMBER THE FOG RULE!
Games will be set up roughly 12 hours from the time of this mail.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORLD CUP WINNER:
From 84 entrants, we have ONLY 1 remaining standing.
But firstly, unluckly to our losing finalist. SonOfAbs and Northern Ireland played 16 Rounds of World Cup Risk to finish 2nd! He started this tournament ranked 1849 and 43rd Seed, by the end of it he was Ranked 2327. Recognition of his amazing play!
In the Final, 1 Team dominated play and in a display of TOTAL RISK, it was the DUTCH dream team under Tin Trumpet that progressed to GLORY, winning the 1st ever CCFA World Cup. Congratulations.
Well done to our winner:
TIN TRUMPET
Lets have a look at how he achieved this amazing feat:
From start to finish it took him 60 Games, He WON 43 of them! an immense record in 2 Player Risk!
- Round 1: Tin Trumpet's Netherlands 'A' Team look very strong. They win 4-2 versus a decent Spain 'A' Team managed by Kevi. Both through to Rd2.
- Round 2: 15th Seed, Loose Canon Lost the Odd Man Bye due to FoBoss's desertion. He walked straight into a nightmare draw V 10th Seed Tin Trumpet. Their Risk brilliance cancelled each other out, It ended 3-3.
- Round 3: He moved into 2nd gear in this Round. A 5-1 destruction of RickMorales's Brazil 5-1 to send them back to Rio to face the music. Already Brazilian newspapers are saying it's the worst ever Brazilian squad to play in the World Cup. Newpaper Reports suggest RickMorales is for the chop.
- Round 4: Netherlands looking good for the Cup. Tin Trumpet's 'A' Team win a close match v MarkTheMenace's Sweden 'B' Team, 4-2. The Dutch up to 10 points. The Sweeds on 4!
- Round 5: Netherlands 'A' Team under Tin Trumpet take the lead in the World Cup with a 4-2 win over ToonArmie09's France 'C' Team. With the Dutch having a HIGHER ranking by 1284 Points, Both managers come out of this one happy.
- Round 6: He LED the Tournament by this point so got a BYE into the knock out Rounds.
- Last 32: 10th Seeds the Netherlands 'A' team under Tin Trumpet keep their cool and make the Last 16 with no requirement for Extra Time or the dreaded penalties. 17th Seed Dragon Dor and the French 'A' Team were the recipients of a 4-2 defeated. Unlucky Dragon!!!
- Last 16: Netherlands 'A' Team 4 v 2 Australia. An amazing performance by the 38th Seeded Ozzies under Elswick but it's Tin Trumpets 10th Seeds that march on intop the Qurter Finals!
- Quarter Finals: the 10th Seeds Netherlands under Tin Trumpet are showboating. They are 4-1 up against 21st Seeds Italy & MEP. With only 1 game left in the Match Up, it's not enough for a comeback. WE PROGRESS TO THE SEMI's!
- Semi-Finals: Wow, just Wow. An absolute nightmare for Enormastitz's Eritrea. In a display of TOTAL RISK Tin Trumpet's Netherlands PUMPS Eritrea 6-0. If this wasn't bad enough, 'The Trumpet' is Enorma's Brother in Law. Imagine your whole family knowing that your Brother in Law is a better Risk player than you and pumped you 6-0 in the World Cup Final just to prove it?????? DEVASTATING!
- Final: In the Final, 1 Team dominated play and in a display of TOTAL RISK, it was the DUTCH dream team under Tin Trumpet that progressed to GLORY, winning the 1st ever CCFA World Cup. Congratulations.
