Transvaal World Cup

TRANSVALER WÊRELDBEKER / TRANSVAAL WORLD CUP



Transvaal World Cup announced on December 2, 2007. Tournament to be played in March 2008

TOURNAMENT RULES

- Botha is the final arbitrator of all decisions regarding the tournament. - FIFA2002 is the AI platform for managing and playing out the tournament.

TEAMS

- pre-set stock teams in FIFA2002 are used to represent national squads.

- teams are assigned based on the location of one’s national capital and determined by the following criteria:

1) the national team located in the same country as one’s capital.

2) if there is no national team in FIFA2002, then the nearest national team to one’s capital.

3) if two or more of the same national team are assigned, then those teams will instead use the nearest club league team if there is a relevant club league in FIFA2002; i.e. if one nation located within France enters, then the French national team is used; if two or more nations located in France enter, then the nearest club team in the French league is used.

4) if there are multiple entrants from the same nation, and there is no club league represented (i.e. Finland), then each of those entrants will use duplicates the national team.

5) every attempt will be made to assign unique teams to each entrant. NORDREICH CAVEAT: anyone entering the tournament who also participated in the Nordreich Cup may claim first-call on their previously assigned team from that tournament.

MATCH RULES

- preliminary round-robin games can end in win, loss, or draw; 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.

- single-game knock out games are played under Transvaal Football Union rules for deciding draws: if both teams are drawn after 90 minutes, sudden-death overtime is played for 30 minutes (2 x 15 minute periods). If still drawn after extra-time, then a shootout will follow.
