Schedule:

• Tuesday, 16th of June - Start of playoffs
  
• Sunday, 12th of July - Grand finals
  
  
• Nations have one week for each playoff round to schedule, the faster everyone schedules their games, the sooner we can finish it off, so i encurage each nation to schedule their games as fast as possible.
  
• I decided that there will be no wildcards in the playoffs as that will further extend the entire tournament, one week for each round should be more than enough for nations to schedule their games.
  
• Both tournaments are double elimination style, which means, even if you lose once, you can still advance forward via loser brackets.
  

I wish all the nations a lot of luck and fun in the playoffs and lets see who will lift up golden pocal this time.
