Was that just moving the region, or did setting languages help too?

I know, when the game gives you your youth intake, there are factors that can influence the nationality of players such as staff nationalities or affiliation types.

What I would like to know is, is something like this possible in the editor. 

If a region had a strong community of a different nationality, could anything be done in the editor to replicate this? Take somewhere like Quebec, they will generate a large number of French-Canadians (French-Canadiens). Is this where the language of a region comes into play?

I'm not entirely sure if I can ask like this now or whether or not I have to just put a request in, but does anyone have anything for Toronto Blizzard? They have recently linked up with Bayern Munich and are in the database, albeit extinct, but I will be bringing them out of extinction with my expanded database and would like kits for them.

Definitely wasn't expecting this from that poor image. Thanks! 

I don't know if anybody can do something with this, BVB IA Waterloo, formerly Waterloo United in League1 Ontario (id 2000080153).

I am using a database that I have expanded. The issue is only with 8 out of the 22 leagues that I have and it will always be the same leagues, whether I test in-game or in the editor.

Does anyone know how I can stop teams randomly changing division? I have regional divisions set up and everything is fine until 2025 when, without any reason whatsoever, teams move divisions. Sometimes, they move up a level, despite there being no promotion or relegation. Other times, they can move to a league on the other side of the country (and for an amateur side playing in Canada, they will be crippled financially).

Ok, first off, I am aware that there is something in the FAQ's about bypassing the verification, but if I do that, any changes that I have made regarding colours don't show. For example, a teams home and away kits will just be black, despite the editor saying otherwise.

Anyway, I have expanded a database (Canada) to go all the way down to college leagues. All competitions have been tested in the editor for 10 years and no errors show. However, when it comes to verification, if I select “all”, verification fails on the first tier saying there is an error with a tier 6 cup competition. This happens for the top 5 tiers. If I choose to verify the tiers individually, I am able to verify tiers 5,6 and 7. Tier 8 however, gives the same error, but with a different competition (a tier 7 cup). Is there anything I can do to get this file verified properly?

I have created a cup competition in which I am required to use tie mapping. I have used tie mapping in various competitions before but, for some reason, I am having problems with this one.

In the screenshots, I have the cup tie mapping in which 2nd place in group 1 plays 2nd place in group 2 and 3rd plays 3rd. However, you can see in the second screenshot that the 3rd place team from group 2 never actually enters the playoff.

As I mentioned, I have used tie mapping before but this is the first time I have encountered this issue. It will always be with the 3rd place team in group 2, regardless of who I set their opponent as or whether they play in the first or second match.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Ok, I have a league that is split into 3 groups of 9 teams. after each group has played 8 games each, the league splits. This is where it gets complicated. Basically, the top 4 teams in each group go into a league consisting of 12 teams to determine the overall champion. The bottom 5 teams from each group go into another league that determines seeding for the cup (which I am not having).

How do I set it up so that the split happens correctly? At the moment, It will only pull 11 teams instead of 12 for the championship playoff league but, when I try and test the competition, it will pull 11 teams PLUS 4 other teams that aren't even registered for the competition. So, it is pulling teams that have qualified for the championship playoff league AND 4 other teams which is the correct number of teams for the bottom playoff league.

Having the top and bottom playoffs both set as “stage 1” (which is how they are at the moment) only shows the larger league (15 teams) under test competition but uses 11 of the 12 top playoff teams.

I apologise for how complicated this sounds.

Thanks for that mate. Solved that problem. I do have another “issue” that I couldn't see in your FAQ though. I have a league that is split into 3 groups. After the mid season break, top 4 from each group go into one league and the remaining teams go into another.

As the groups are stage 0, would I need the next stages to have the same (1) or separate index numbers (1&2)? 

I know @hammer9 has already made some of the kits (Valour and Atletico Ottawa), thanks by the way, but here is a link to (decent) images of all this seasons Canadian Premier League kits.

I am currently expanding the Canadian pyramid and I have come across an error when testing or verifying competitions that I am unsure how to rectify. The error can be seen in the below screenshot:

FC Edmonton home, away and third. No other CPL sides have unveiled their alternate jerseys yet.

Atletico Ottawa home and away

Not sure if these have been posted yet, Valour FC (CPL) 2022 kits. The 3rd picture is the best image I could get of the away kit pattern (It is supposed to be wheat).

Yeah, I ballsed up the seeding for the semi final. As a result, the final was never getting played. Thanks for telling me about the ‘test competition’ page. 

Ok, my understanding of this particular page would tell me that the final was never played:

Should that be the case, and as the window is set from August - November (with fixtures from September - October), I would need to juggle the fixtures around to get the final played in October?

The dates are set correctly as far as I am aware:

Honestly? I am not 100% sure on how to read the test competitions panel. It just kicks up the same error:

This is the error I get, whether I am trying to verify or test:

@mons, sorry mate, but I have another question that I don't know if you could help me with. I was able to get the above issue sorted and the database verified, but after changing dates, the file won't verify because the league “doesn't finish before the season update day”. 

Now, the league is set to run between August and November (it's a small league with each team playing each other only once). The fixture dates are September 10th - October 31st and the season update day is December 31st 

Do you have any idea what I can do to rectify this issue as I can't see why it is saying that the league won't finish in time?

No worries, I will see what I can do.

Basically, I have 1 league split into 2 groups. I need the top 6 from each group. But the teams that finish 1st and 2nd receive a bye so third through 6th play each other with the winners progressing to play 1st and 2nd. The winners then play each other to determine the overall winner. So, 3 rounds (per group). Then the winner of each group plays each other.

I wasn't actually expecting it to sound that complicated……..

So, if I gave a team the seeding of ‘0’, they would enter the competition at a later point? Or would they enter from the beginning?

Is it this particular tab that controls which teams get the bye?

@mons 

I just want to check, you were referring to the IZIBET FA Trophy, weren't you? And, I am assuming that the byes are managed by the seeding? So, the lower the number, the later they enter the competition?

Cheers. Basically, I am expanding a Canadian file that I have and the U-Sports is a pretty bizarre setup. There is 4 leagues (2 of which have 2 groups) and there is a playoff in each league (with byes in 2 of them) to determine the league champions, then all 4 champions play in a knockout tournament to determine the U-Sports champion.

Cheers mate, I will take a look. You don't know anything about byes in knockout comps do you?

@kingrobbo 

Apologies, I've sorted that issue now. I do have another question you may be able to help with. How would I go about promotion from groups into a league? 

The problem that I am now having is that it is not recognising the top teams. Would this be because it is not ‘technically’ a different competition? The championship playoff is simply another stage in the competition.
