INTERNATIONAL GIRLS CUP
PLAYOFF FORMAT
(11v11 Teams Only)
In attempt to provide the most tournament action and the best competition available, the “SuperCopa Playoff System” will be utilized. This may be different from most events, teams are encouraged to read this in detail. Please refer to the Tournament Rules for a complete description of all rules.
There will be a 1-4 hour delay after completion of group round games before quarterfinal games are posted as the Tournament Committee verifies all teams’ standings and points. The Tournament Director will notify all teams via email when playoff rounds are FINAL.
INTERNATIONAL GIRLS CUP PLAYOFF ROUNDS
The International Girls Cup provides playoff opportunities for EVERY participating team. Teams are grouped into Gold, Silver, and Bronze (if needed) brackets AND seeded within that bracket based on their points from the group round.
After the International Girls Cup group stage completes for all brackets (first three games), the group winners and highest point wildcards comprise the top 8 teams and make up the Gold bracket. The next 8 teams comprise the Silver bracket, and so on.
The top 8 teams will be determined by the winners of each group/bracket plus additional wild cards will be selected based on the teams with the highest point totals. In the event multiple teams are tied for the wildcard spots then tiebreaker rules will be used. Playoff opponents are chosen by seeding teams based on total points. Example, if the winner of bracket C has 30 points after their first three games and they have the highest total points among all teams then they will be placed as the 1st seed and will play the 8th seed (one of the wildcard teams). In the event that multiple teams are tied then tiebreaker rules (see Tournament Rules) will apply to determine seeding.
Quarterfinal opponents are defined by the following seeding:
1st vs 8th
2nd vs 7th
3rd vs 6th
4th vs 5th
Once the Quarterfinals are set, the single elimination tournament will play out as scheduled. There is NO reseeding after the Quarterfinals.
The 8 teams that make up the Gold bracket will be determined by total points from the Group Round games, and seeding inside the brackets will be determined by total points as well.
Because variety of competition is a significant element of the International Girls Cup, the Tournament Committee reserves the right to adjust seeding by 1 to 2 positions to avoid teams facing each other in quarterfinals who have already played each other during group rounds. Seeding adjustments are at the complete discretion of the tournament committee, but will not be made to affect which playoff bracket a team has earned a spot in.
