Q. When does the cup start?
A. The cup starts week 6 instead of friendlies.
Q. What if I'm still in the national cup?
A. You then have to forfeit any matches that you would have been
in and the match is awarded as a 1-0 walkover to your opponent.
Q. What if I'm still in the national cup and so is my opponent?
A. The game is a 0-0 draw.
Q. Are the matches played under cup or normal rules?
A. All group phase matches are played under normal rules
with all knockout matches played under cup rules.
Q. What if I make a mistake and play a group phase match under
cup rules?
A. The result at 90 minutes will stand so the match will be a
draw with only goals scored in the 90 minutes counting towards goal
difference.
Q. What happens if my opponent has already scheduled another friendly?
A. Send a message to the cup administrator as notification and
he will reply to confirm your match has been marked down as a 3-0
walkover victory. It's important to wait for the administrator to
confirm the walkover before you arrange another friendly.
Q. My opponent has not accepted my match invitation so what should
I do?
A. Mail your opponent in game and remind them of your scheduled
THFC Cup match. If you receive no response or your opponent has
not logged in then mail the cup administrator in game. Note that
it's fair for you opponent to accept your challenge or challenge
you up to the Monday inclusive.
Playing a friendly game is vital for training in Hattrick so
if your opponent seems to be away from the Internet then the match
will be marked down as a 3-0 walkover and you can schedule another
friendly. Again - make sure you receive confirmation back from the
cup administrator before arranging the new friendly.
Q. I won my match so now what?
A. Wohooo! congrats. Post the result in the Fed Cup thread on
the conference and make sure to insert the match ID as a link.
Q. How many points for a win/draw?
A. You will be awarded 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.
Q. The group phase is over so who goes through?
A. The winners of each group. The cup has expanded from
48 to 64 teams this season so only the group winners will now move
onto the knockout phase.
Q. Everyone in my group has the same amount of points so who tops
the group?
A. If teams have equal points then the rankings are based on
goal difference. If these are equal as well then rankings will be
based on total goals scored. If these are equal as well then the
head-to-head records between the teams will determine the ranking.
If somehow we manage to have teams exactly equal still then nick_morris
will make a draw to determine who tops the group.
Q. Where can I see the group standings and draw for the knockout
stages?
A. All the match schedules, group standings, and knockout matches
will be posted here on this web site with reminders on the THFC
Fed conference. Please note that we have participants from a range
of countries so some games will be played later in the week compared
to your country friendly schedule. This means that group updates
will be posted near the end of each week as we need to wait for
all matches to finish.
Q. I made it to the final so how does that game work?
A. The final is a single game held at a neutral ground. This
season nick_morris will host the final.
