Cup Seedings

terpkristin · 07-14-2004, 02:56 PM

Stolen from the USA Conference, this is how you figure out your current "rank" in the cup:

If you're the away team: Take your match ID and subtract the Wizards match ID and add 1.

If you're the home team: Subtract Wizards match ID from your match ID and then subtract that number from the number of teams left.
So home seed = # teams left - (your match ID - Wizards match ID)

Note, if Wizards gets eliminated you use the match ID of the team that finished the highest in the ML last year.

Now, a stupid question: how do you find out the number of teams left? I never remember how many teams STARTED in the cup, so I can't back it out...

Dola,
.
Nevermind there are 8192 teams in the Cup in the US. Just bothered to look it up.

if you go to USA/Cup on the left side menu in hattrick it give you the number of teams in each division left in the cup (and i think total left in the cup)

Mr. Wednesday · 07-14-2004, 04:01 PM

8192->4096->2048->1024->512->256->128->64->32->16->8->4->2->1

YoSoySean · 07-14-2004, 04:52 PM

267? Crap, I won't be getting a home match for a while :P

Masked · 07-14-2004, 05:52 PM

155 - almost certainly won't last long enough for a home match

YoSoySean · 07-14-2004, 06:37 PM

Eh. I'm down 2-0 and missed 3 chances already. I'll be lucky to make round 5.

thealmighty · 07-14-2004, 07:16 PM

I'm ahead but lost possession in first half (granted only 51%).

Alf · 07-15-2004, 01:26 AM

I am ranked 72 entering round 5, at least 3 rounds till I potentially play a home game.

sterlingice · 07-15-2004, 01:48 AM

Let's see- the Wizards game is 23145204
I'm on the road and my game is 23145423

So that's a difference of 219 plus 1 equals seed 220.

That can't be right. In the series above me there are 8 + 32 + 128 teams. Hm... I guess that's possible since I finished 2nd last season.

SI

KevinNU7 · 07-22-2004, 01:39 PM

I'm #157 for Round 6

Masked · 07-22-2004, 01:51 PM

I'm 114 for round 6 and missed a home game by 14 places. Damn all you teams that pulled cupsets.

saintjo · 07-22-2004, 02:34 PM

i think im 235. sorry masked. im one of those cupset teams you arent so happy with

sterlingice · 07-22-2004, 02:39 PM

Ok, so there's 256 teams left now.

The Wizards game is 23246639
I've got my first home game in 4 season and my game is 23246735

Quote:

So home seed = # teams left - (your match ID - Wizards match ID)

256 - (23246735-23246639) = 256 - 96 = Seed #160
