Taking into account the acceptances of the rules, the final list of 12 qualifiers is as follows:
1 Sweden - 2 Croatia - 3 Finland - 4 Georgia - 5 Slovakia - 6 New Zealand
7 Slovenia - 8 South Africa - 9 Romania - 10 South Korea - 11 Jamaica - 12 Portugal

The top 4 teams qualify for the quarter-finals, where they will face the winner of a 1/8-final play-off between the teams ranked 5 to 12 according to the following table
1 v. Winner 8-9
4 v. winner 5-12
3. c. winner 6-11
2 v. winner 7-10
i.e. :
SWEDEN vs. winner SOUTH AFRICA - ROMANIA
GEORGIA v. winner SLOVAKIA - PORTUGAL
FINLAND v. winner NEW ZEALAND - JAMAICA
CROATIA v. winner SLOVENIA - SOUTH KOREA
The 1/8 final play-offs will take place on Monday 15 December.
NB; the 4 qualifiers for the quarter-finals can play a friendly match on Tuesday 16 December at the latest.

The 12 coaches have until 12 noon on Saturday 13 December to publish their 22-man shortlist here.
Any association failing to meet this deadline will be withdrawn from the competition.

To facilitate checks, the published lists must include the player's surname (optionally first name and relationship), the club to which they belong and the association to which they belong.
You can choose the most appropriate form for publishing your list (see posts from previous editions), but the presentation must be clear and above all unambiguous.
Once the list has been published, it cannot be modified (a player can be added, but a player can always be removed, which will reduce the list by 22).

A reminder:
Under penalty of automatic loss of match on the green carpet

• The presence of a player (even one who is not playing) outside the list of 22 is forbidden.
• Players who are progressing, even with a very low percentage, are strictly forbidden.
• Players on loan are forbidden (if they are loaned out during the competition - excluding IS matches, of course - the player becomes ineligible for selection).
• Selections must never have two players from the same club (if a player is transferred during the competition and your list is no longer compliant, you must remove him from your list without being able to replace him with a 23rd player).
• Selections must never include 5 players from the same agreement, aggregated with sister agreements (if a player is transferred during the competition, the same rule applies as above).
• Once submitted, the list cannot be changed, so it is advisable, but not compulsory, to provide 2 goalkeepers in case your No. 1 goalkeeper refuses selection or is transferred or loaned out.

A reminder for those unfamiliar with the finals:
Unlike matches in the 1st phase, matches are created manually, which means that players do not arrive at the match automatically if you have not previously called them up using the call-up button.
If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to do so twice, as you will be notified of the number of players called up after you have pressed the button. Alternatively, if you have any doubts, you can ask a club that has a player selected whether their player appears on the list of players called up.

We look forward to receiving your list of 22 players before noon on Saturday, so good luck to all those who have qualified!

When can we schedule the famous 5th match for the top4? Thank you :)

The selection for Sweden was submitted after the deadline, but we'll bear with you!

Don't forget to validate your invitations for those playing in the 1/8 finals.

In the event of a draw, I would also remind you that you must send me 2 sets of penalty kicks and saves as soon as possible after the final whistle.
(The 2nd series is used in the event of a tie on the first series and is used in the form of sudden death).
In any case, a series of penalty kicks sent 24 hours after the end of the match will be too late and the match will be declared a winner for the opponent.

My opponent is playing with 12 players on the pitch...
The studded player is apparently suspended, but he's in the game and you can see his score.
I don't know where I can report this

vf:fed:ro: Mon adversaire joue avec 12 joueurs sur le terrain...
Le joueur Cloete est apparement suspendu mais il est en jeu et on peut voir sa note..
Je sais pas si sa note est incluse dans les stats ou pas..je tiens quand même à le signaler

Your opponent is playing very well with 11 players 😉

Jamaica win against New Zealand

Well done Kiki, the score is harsh.

Nitnelav: Victoire de la Jamaïque contre la Nouvelle-Zélande
🇳🇿 1-4 🇯🇲 #match?mid=6577564

Bien joué à Kiki, le score est sévère.

Very severe indeed, in short, each time I only do one round, in any case, well done and good luck for the rest.

An update on the 1/8 finals and the rest of the competition

Slovakia-Portugal 2-0
#match?mid=6577563 1-4
#match?mid=6577564
A one-sided match, Slovakia controlled their game from start to finish and qualified thanks to two goals scored early in the second half by their striker Roland Mujkos.

New Zealand - Jamaica 1-4
#match?mid=6577564
Jamaica, who had already made their mark in the 1st phase with a fiery attack, continued in that vein by scoring in the very first minute. New Zealand tried to fight back, equalising in the 18th minute, but the Jamaican forwards came back strongly and regained the lead in the 30th minute. The match then evened out, but the Jamaicans finished with a bang and increased the score to 3 and then 4-1 in the final minutes, which was a heavy blow for the New Zealanders, who had not deserved to lose.

South Africa - Romania 1-1
#match?mid=6577561
The first half was spectacular, with plenty of chances on both sides, but the defences kept a close eye on them and half-time arrived with the score at 0-0.
Bis repetita in the second half, nothing was scored until South Africa finally opened the scoring in the 84th minute. We thought the match was over, but no, Romania, who had been ineffective until then, managed to equalise within 3 minutes, so it was a penalty shoot-out that the teams had to settle.

It's over, Romania can't come back and South Africa gets its ticket for the 1/4 finals.

Slovenia - South Korea 0-0
#match?mid=6577565
Slovenia were hoping to dethrone the defending champions but their attacks were too timid to break the deadlock. As for the Koreans, although they created a number of chances over the course of the match, they failed to make the most of them, and it was therefore a penalty shoot-out that decided the tie between the two teams, who finished 0-0 at the end of normal time.

It's in, so South Korea qualify by the skin of their teeth against Slovenia, who can have a few regrets.

The draw for the quarter-finals is therefore as follows, with all the matches still undecided
SWEDEN - SOUTH AFRICA
GEORGIA - SLOVAKIA
FINLAND - JAMAICA
CROATIA - SOUTH KOREA

The matches will take place next Friday

Hello, if he only makes one stop in the middle for 5 shots in the middle, how can I get 3?

Indeed, there was a small reporting error, and unfortunately, it was a costly one. Korea's 1st save was "G", and it was reported as "C" by mistake, leading to a save on a Slovenian shot that shouldn't have been.
"Slovenia shot C - South Korea stop C SLO 0 - COR 0".

The result after the 5-shot session is normally a 4-3 Slovenian win (instead of 3-3), and therefore no sudden death (which leads to Korea's probable win, I haven't double-checked that said).
CF :

From memory, it's impossible to cancel a match (or a very complicated one) if you've already been called up (which was the case for Croatia last night).
Having said that, as I haven't played a 5th match with Croatia due to lack of time, it's possible to consider another option thanks to what I'm proposing:

• Leave the Croatia-Korea match, which will count for nothing (to avoid a bug in the call-ups).
• Then reschedule the Croatia-Slovenia match asap (6th match for each federation)
  And then go back to the classic route for the semi-finals and finals (7th and 8th matches for each federation).

Yes, that's right. I was a bit hasty when it came to announcing the results. That's why I'm publishing the PMs! So that everyone can check.
Sorry
Yes, Brewen's solution seems perfectly satisfactory. Blagoje, who schedules the matches, will have to confirm that it's possible.

If it's good for everyone, it's good for me 😉

Quick question: my goalkeeper is currently without a club. Is he still eligible to play? Given that he originally had a club

Blagoje Vidinic: Si c'est bon pour tout le monde, c'est bon pour moi. 😉

No worries, just check with Jeff. On the other hand, wouldn't scheduling the match before the other is played risk introducing a conflict between matches? If feasible, wouldn't it be safer to schedule the match on Saturday morning, once the players have returned to their clubs? (I'm writing down a memo to support the idea of calling the players on Saturday during the day in this scenario).

My only request, if possible, is that I don't schedule the game for Saturday 20/12, as I have a Christmas dinner planned for that date, so it's clearly impossible to keep up.

I'll programme the 'good match' once the other one has been played, so as not to create a bug in the invitations.

I've just read your messages and found out that I've been eliminated from the competition. Well done Jeffus and all the best for the rest of the competition!

Good luck to the admins and organisers in getting the right match as quickly as possible so that the end of the competition goes as smoothly as possible.

I look forward to seeing you again next season!

Nims57: Je découvre vos message et j'apprends donc mon élimination de la compétition, bravo à Jeffus et bonne continuation pour la suite de la compétition !

Bonne chance aux admins et organisateurs pour réussir à caler le bon match le plus rapidement possible et que la fin de la compétition se déroule pour le mieux.

Je vous dit à la saison prochaine pour de nouvelles rencontres !

Thank you for your message and see you next season for the rematch ;)

Uzzego27: Petite question, mon gardien se retrouve sans club actuellement, est-ce qu’il est encore éligible pour jouer ? Sachant qu’il avait un club à la base

Yes, don't worry, it respects the limits on the number of players per club and per agreement.

The invitation date does not work

vf:fed:se: La date de convocation ne fonctionne pas

I don't get it!

The meeting went well
