The competition format editor has been reorganized into two primary sections for each stage: [b]Basic[/b] and [b]Qualifications[/b]. Depending on the stage type, the [b]Qualifications[/b] section may have two or three sub-sections: [b]Auto-qualified teams[/b], [b]Other stages[/b], and [b]Knockout brackets.[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45111527/c135e0bee984796ffff4ca73b27c48a0e7733fb8.png[/img] In the [b]Other stages[/b] section, you now have the flexibility to select any stages from [b]any competitions[/b], allowing for greater customization of rules. Additionally, if a team is eligible for multiple rules, the simulator automatically selects the next highest-ranked team to fill available spots.

If Spain were to win both the EURO and World Cup, the simulator would automatically select the EURO Cup runner-up to fill the available spot. [h2]Simulation all until[/h2] This setting enables you to specify when the simulator should stop further match simulation. You have three options to choose from: - “Stop when the current stage is completed”: This option tells the simulator to stop the simulation when all matches of the current stage are finished. - “Stop when all stages under a specific phase / tab are completed”: This option is useful for World Cup qualifiers, where you want to simulate all matches across all continental qualifiers. - “Stop until the current round is completed”: This option is used for knockout stages. These settings are typically not required for editing, but they are provided for those who wish to experiment with various scenarios. Web version: https://simcups.com
