First of all, I want to thank all of you for your cooperation. Your support and help during last season’s WCC and WCS tournament was invaluable. Congratulations again to both winners, Dortmund and Stoke City.

In new season, 24, we will have a little different format of our WCC and WCS tournament. Group stage will be organized in 10 different groups. All groups will include ten teams. There will be two teams from each division: D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. Teams will be picked based on their final position on the league table at the end of season 23. Therefore, there will be no seed this season. For example: Top two teams from D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 will be in same group. Then in the next group, we will include all third and fourth teams from D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. And this system we will be use till we fill the last, 10th, group.

Each team in a group will play one game against each other, so 9 games in group format. After that we will go to knock out system, starting with R32. In WCC, teams that finish in the top 3 of each group, will qualify. This accounts for 30 teams. Additionally, the 2 best teams that finish in fourth place will also qualify. In WCS will qualify teams from place 4-6 and extra four best teams that will finished on place 7. All others will unfortunately finished this season WCC and WCS tournament.

Because we have this system, I would like to ask all of you to help me. Games will be played every Wednesday. It will be important to organize all of your group games and also knock out as soon as possible. We will start the competition on the third Wednesday of a new season. I want to make sure you don’t miss some games. First round will be after turn 3 (schedule in the table below). Round of 32 knockout stage will have just one game. This is the same format we have in the YC or YS competition. This setup allows us to have finals in WCC and WCS played in two games.
