Announcing the 1st ever Commission GLB Cup sponsored by, you guessed it, The Commission.
For our inaugural season, we will only be having a pee wee bracket, but will be full force next season. This tournament will use a World Cup format with 8 groups of 4 teams for a total of 32. Each group will play round robin games with the top 2 teams from every group advancing to the single elimination playoff. Every team is guaranteed at least 3 games so no unlucky 1st round draws and one and done.

Registration
PM one of the tournament directors or simply post your team link in this thread. If more than 32 teams sign up, then the tournament directors will pick the 32 most competitive teams based on a combination of our all knowing opinions and effective levels.
Groups
Each group will consist of 4 teams. Every team in the group plays each other once. The top 2 teams will advance to the 16 team single elimination playoff, just like the World Cup. Team placement will be based on effective levels. Each team will be ranked 1-32 based on effective levels, then placed in a bracket accordingly.
For example, teams 1-8 will all be in separate brackets A-H, teams 9-16 will be placed in separate brackets A-H, etc. We will do our best to place teams in the same bracket based on what day their league games are on.
Tie Breakers
In the event 2 teams end with the same record in their group, then the following tie breakers will go into effect:
1. head to head
2. point differential
3. total points scored
4. coin toss
16 Team Playoff Seeding
Group winners will play group runners up as follows:
