You have to register and pick a team name. Right now, just trying to figure out approx. how many people I could get to join.
You'll be able to pick your team on the 4th of June, after the official squads have been announced.
Some info on the type of leagues:
Leagues
Once you have created your team you are automatically entered in a number of leagues. These are:
The overall league involving all registered players
A league for fellow players from your country
A league for players starting the same round as you
Private leagues with your friends and colleagues (optional)
You can be in up to 10 private leagues.
Private leagues use either a classic or head-to-head scoring system.
***Classic scoring***
Teams are ranked based on their total points in the game. In the event of a tie between teams, the team who has made the least transfers will be positioned higher.
Head-to-head
Each round you will play a match against another team in the league, with a match result based on game scores. 3 points will be awarded for a win and 1 point for a draw. In the event of a tie, the team with the most game points will be positioned higher.
Any points deducted for making transfers leading up to the round will be deducted from your head-to-head score.
To create a head-to-head league you will need a minimum of 2 players. Thereafter, you can add as many players as you like.
It should be noted that the optimum number of teams in a head-to-head league is eight. This way each team will play each other once throughout the tournament. If your league has an odd number of teams then an average player will be added to ensure everyone has a match each round. The average player will score the average game points each round. If you have more than eight teams, then you will not play everyone in your league. The fixtures are generated by the computer.
The administrator when creating the league will also have the option to add knockout rounds at the end. The number of knockout rounds can be chosen (up to 3), but ultimately will be limited by the number of teams that have joined the league by the time of the first deadline.
World Cup Mode
Private classic and overall leagues will also show a World Cup Mode being played out. Once the knockout phase of the tournament starts, depending on the number of teams in your league, the top teams will go into a knockout playoff. For example, if you have between 8 and 15 teams in your league, at the point of the Quarter-finals, the top 8 teams will then go into a knockout phase, with any remaining teams being eliminated from the World Cup Mode view.
If you have 16 or more teams, the knockout stage will commence at the Round of 16.
Any points deducted for making transfers leading up to the round will be deducted from your World Cup Mode match score.
If a World Cup Mode match is drawn, then the following tie-breaks will be applied until a winner is found:
Most goals scored in the round
Fewest goals conceded in the round
Virtual coin toss
Phases
All non head-to-head leagues are run on a phase and overall basis. The phases are as follows:
Phase First round Last round
Overall Tournament Round 1 Final and 3/4 playoff
Group phase Round 1 Round 3
Knock-out phase Round of 16 Final and 3/4 playoff
You can sign up at any time during the tournament, but to be in with a chance of winning the overall tournament you will most likely need to pick your squad prior to the tournament starting.
