National Tournament Match Reports

[Superjazz]

I officially announce The National Tournament now opened. However, the first match is yet to be played on next weekend, most likely Saturday. Since a quick tournament on weekdays seemed to be bad for a big part of players, our crew has decided to change the tournament length and rhytme. The games are now all to be played on weekends, Saturday and Sunday are the options. The thing would probably last 7 weekends at the longest for now, but however if some countries happened to be able to play two matches on one weekend, it might shorten. Since it would be rushy to just finish this off as soon as possible, I will be updating this thread with information during the next week. As you can see, now use this as the main thread for the tournament, which is for Match reports too.

Information about the tournament structure

Groupstage:

On the groupstage, all the 5 participating countries are put into one main group. All the countries play against each other once. A match consists of two rounds, each till 10 points or 15 minutes, whichever comes first. If a round is tied after 15 minutes, it counts as a draw. If a match is tied in total scores after two rounds, it counts as a draw. Each team gets to choose a map from the mappool for one round. You are allowed to play on a map that is not included in the mappool as well, but then both your and your opponent team must agree on it. However, you cannot argue on a map that is included in the mappool.

Groupstage scoring:

A victory is score-based. Your team receives 1 point for a total victory, and one additional point for each round they win in scores.
For example Nation A vs Nation B:

Nation A wins round 1 10-5 (1 point for Nation A)
Nation A and Nation B tie round 2 5-5 (No point to either country, but Nation A wins the match 15-10 in total, and so receives 1 point)

After the groupstage ends, the country that has got the least amount of points of all 5 teams, gets knocked out of the eliminationstage.

Eliminationstage

The country with the highest score(number 1)from groupstage faces number 4(last qualified country) from the groupstage. On the other semi-final, countries 2, and 3 face each other. The winning countries face each other in the Grand Final, while the lost countries face each other in the Bronze Final.

For eliminationstage there will be a mappool of 3 maps, that will be published later. Both teams are forced to pick one of them for one round. Now only total score-based wins matter. If the total score is still tied after two rounds, the third map that wasn't chosen by either gets played on the extra third round. If the game is still tied after 15 minutes of round 3, the same round continues, and the team to score the next point, wins the match.

About hosts:

Hosts for the matches should be searched beforehand as well. It should be as neutral as possible(at least not from either of the playing countries.) Hosts require jj2+ and a bit of knowledge for it. They should also be able to provide logs from played matches.

Upcoming matches:

An order for the groupstage matches has been officially drawn with one representant from each participating country. You can agree on any suitable time with your opponent country, as long as the match gets played within the given date(s).

[Superjazz]

I have now updated the first post. Read it for all required information. The upcoming matches for the next weekend are:

Game Weekend #1

5th and 6th July

Finland vs United Kingdom
The Netherlands vs Poland
(North America rests)

I or someone else of the crew should do a proper standings-table for the group as soon as possible.

[Raven aka StL]

I'm not sure whether or not I can play on saturday, at least.

[Hitch]

We are the lucky ones. ;D

[Vegito]

Netherlands Vs. Poland.

Dutchies choice: JE.

Sweet, Vegito and Quickz Vs. Maverick, Sperry and Robee. (5-3)

Note: We actually quit at 14:20 minutes because we thought it was to 5 at first. We decided not to play the last 40 seconds anymore though.

Polska's choice: BBlair.

DarkSonic, Vegito and Quickz Vs. Maverick, Sperry and Robee. (3-3)

Exciting match. I had the feeling me, Quickz and DS were making it ourselves way harder than it should have been at first. We were working against eachother rather than helping eachother. Anyway, at 0-2 to them with 5 minutes left or so we finally started to play better and better. Heh. Made it 3-2 rather quick, then they scored another point but it was too late.

And Mave... STOP CHATTING SO MUCH AT JJ2!

[Quickz]

Yeah, for those who like stats:

Jungle's Edge (5-3):

Vegito: 3 scores, 22 kills, 17 deaths
Quickz: 1 score, 16 kills, 19 deaths
Sweet: 1 score, 11 kills, 14 deaths

Sperry: 1 score, 14 kills, 21 deaths
Mav: 21 kills, 12 deaths
Robee: 2 scores, 15 kills, 16 deaths

BBlair (3-3):
Vegito: 18 kills, 18 deaths
Quickz: 2 scores, 13 kills, 20 deaths
DarkSonic: 1 score, 13 kills, 17 deaths

Sperry: 1 score, 19 kills, 19 deaths
Mav: 1 score, 28 kills, 8 deaths
Robee: 1 score, 8 kills, 17 deaths

Edit: Thanks Veg and Emp for some info! ;D

[Nonomu198]

Mav: 28 kills, 8 deaths

wtf :eek:


Sperry: 2? scores, 19 kills, 19 deaths
Robee: 1? score, 8 kills, 17 deaths

Wut's with the question mark?

[Raven aka StL]

Robee scored twice in JE, afaik.
And probably Sperry once.

Don't know about BBlair though, as I was away.

[Superjazz]

Finland vs United Kingdom

Finland: Snooze, St.Louis, and Superjazz
United Kingdom: Green Plant, Messiah, Ragnarok

Round 1

9-3 (BloodBunny's Lair) (FIN choice)

In begin we were truly asleep. They were evil to also abuse the red's carrot by shooting it one floor lower. They just rushed the two first points and it was 2-0 to them in no time. Once we got our game rolling though, we were scoring points one by one smoothly. I somehow managed to once even tripleroast them, and thus scored one more point for ourselves too. It was 9-2 a few minutes before the end, but trying to get the last finishing score was really hard. We tried that too hard and they scored once more before the end. My movement was also rather jammed here, probably not enough warmed up. A decent game from us, if not the begin though. They had a really working tactic for the first strike, I have to admit.

Round 2

5-8 (Security Breach v2) (UK choice)

They murdered us in the begin again. Then it became more even, when we got our opening scores also. Not for long however, since they really managed to pwn us off here, because our teamplay sucked hard. Their Roast/Death statistics were way worse than ours in the end, yet they scored a lot, meaning they didn't waste their chances, unlike we did. Guess we need to train ourselves up. This map was a wise pick from Ragnarok too. A Gg.

BBLair Stats:

Snooze: 2 scores, 24 roasts, 9 deaths
St.Louis: 3 scores, 19 roasts, 19 deaths
Superjazz: 4 scores, 20 roasts, 20 deaths

Green Plant: 2 scores, 14 roasts, 26 deaths
Messiah: 1 score, 14 roasts, 21 deaths
Ragnarok: 0 scores, 20 roasts, 16 deaths

SB2 Stats:

Snooze: 1 score, 24 roasts, 13 deaths
St.Louis: 1 score, 10 roasts, 17 deaths
Superjazz: 3 scores, 25 roasts, 14 deaths

Green Plant: 4 scores, 11 roasts, 19 deaths
Messiah: 3 scores, 11 roasts, 21 deaths
Ragnarok: 1 score, 22 roasts, 19 deaths

[Superjazz]

NL vs PL Round #2

[Superjazz]

FI vs UK Round #2

[Superjazz]

To haste things up, you are now allowed to play the matches of the Game Weekend #2 already today. Still, if your country for some reason isn't able to play at all, you can still do that on the next weekend's Saturday.

Game Weekend #2

6th and 12th July

United Kingdom vs Poland
Finland vs North America
(The Netherlands rests)

I also submitted a standings table to the bottom of the opening post. I will update it always when I'm able to. Not to be updated for the next two weeks though.

[Vegito]

Yeah, for those who like stats:

Jungle's Edge (5-3):

Vegito: 2 scores, 22 kills, 17 deaths
Quickz: 2 scores, 16 kills, 19 deaths
Sweet: 1 score, 11 kills, 14 deaths

Sperry: 14 kills, 21 deaths
Mav: 21 kills, 12 deaths
Robee: 15 kills, 16 deaths

BBlair (3-3):
Vegito: 18 kills, 18 deaths
Quickz: 2 scores, 13 kills, 20 deaths
DarkSonic: 1 score, 13 kills, 17 deaths

Sperry: 2? scores, 19 kills, 19 deaths
Mav: 28 kills, 8 deaths
Robee: 1? score, 8 kills, 17 deaths


I scored 3 times in JE, Sweet + Qz both 1 times.
In BBlair Sperry, Mav and Rob scored once for their team. >: [

[Superjazz]

Poland vs United Kingdom

Round 1

Poland: Slayer, Sperry, Robee
United Kingdom: Green Plant, Messiah, Ragnarok

5-1 (BloodBunny's Lair) (POL choice)

United Kingdom pretty much surprises Poland after surprising Finland. Poland however, gets the opening score here. United Kingdom doesn't give up and ties the game to 1-1 soon. Then, as known, Poland begins it's rumble in this level. They had chance for a few more scores, but didn't use them all. That way UK doesn't lose too hard against them.

Round 2

Poland: Maverick, Slayer, Sperry
United Kingdom: (same)

5-5 (Security Breach v2) (UK choice)

United Kingdom is again strong in the begin. They score the first point from almost the first strike, and take the 2nd one soon as well. Then for the rest of the match they pretty much lose the 'touch' and Poland scores precious points. United Kingdom can barely save most of their scoring attempts still. Then comes the exciting part. Poland is leading 5-3 in the last minute. They seem to be ready to end the match already, however UK is still razorblade sharp, and score. Then Messiah captures, and rushes the last point to tie the game up, while his mates are defending the base up. Good games.

Anyone with playlog, post the statistics.

[Vegito]

Thats me.

BBlair (5-1):

Robee: 1 Score, 13 Roasts, 26 Deaths.
Sperry: 3 Scores, 21 Roasts, 13 Deaths.
Slayer: 1 Score, 18 Roasts, 15 Deaths.

Messiah: 0 Scores, 17 Roasts, 20 Deaths.
Ragnarok: 0 Scores, 25 Roasts, 17 Deaths.
Green Plant: 1 Score, 12 Roasts, 15 Deaths.

SBv2 (5-5):

Sperry: 2 Scores, 18 Roasts, 21 Deaths.
Slayer: 3 Scores, 15 Roasts, 17 Deaths.
Maverick: 0 Scores, 20 Roasts, 19 Deaths.

Messiah: 2 Scores, 16 Roasts, 17 Deaths.
Ragnarok: 2 Scores, 19 Roasts, 20 Deaths.
Green Plant: 1 Score, 22 Roasts, 16 Deaths.

[Raven aka StL]

I take the blame for the pathetic play of team Finland in the Sbv2 round against Great-Britain. I shall work towards that never reoccurring. (Besides, a big part of it was lag that wasn't featured in the first round, dunno what's up with that).

[Superjazz]

The next couple of matches can be played within two weekends, since I won't be available until two weeks. This also contains the Finland vs North America match from the current Game Weekend #2.

Game Weekend #3

12th, 13th, 19th, and 20th July

Finland vs North America
United Kingdom vs The Netherlands
North America vs Poland

See you on July 18th again hopefully. :)

[Quickz]

Here's the screenshot of the Netherlands vs. Poland, round 1.

[KRSplat]

What happened?

[Ragnarok!]

Indeed. :s It seems when SJ left, the co-'s didn't assume his role

[Sasik]

One can't do much if people are not willing to play ;X Without SJ Finland rather don't have a team, and afaik you and GP are also unable to play now ;P I tried to organize a match between Poland and North Amercia, but from them only Hitch looked like really willing to play.

However the tournament can be still easily revived. Just play all matches which you should ;P

[Vegito]

Also I had Sperry come over and then well, we never quite organize any match anymore. I hoped for people to take care of it themselves.

[Raven aka StL]

Let's wait till SJ comes back to stay (aka around 5 and a half months, I assume) and then see what will come out of this. That is, unless someone wants to take over...

[Ragnarok!]

;s. I can play and so can GP again in... a week I hope.

[Vegito]

JDC is over so it should probably be easier to revive this. Or not...

[Raven aka StL]

Depends on your and Sasik's activity (or whoever you might add as a co-supervisor.)
Don't count on me though, I'm quite busy these days.
Of course I can provide some assistance when I'm available, and I've got nothing against resurrecting this (again).

[Vegito]

Obvious Im busy too otherwise I would have probably taken care of it, I do like organizing things from time to time =\

[cooba]

<img src="http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/images/macro/burythisthread.jpg" />

[Sasik]

I rather also don't have enough time to take full care of this. Maybe in September. Maybe. :)

[Speeza]

<img src="http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/images/macro/burythisthread.jpg" />

That image never made sense. We were talking about it in another forum. The person there is already buried :P. It should have a empty grave on it saying insert thread here ;).

[Nonomu198]

That image never made sense. We were talking about it in another forum. The person there is already buried :P. It should have a empty grave on it saying insert thread here ;).

It is set as an example, for it seems that the people who keep posting in this thread just do not know how the thing is done, the text is in there to announce it is time.


wait. I just posted. shi

[Ragnarok!]

This was great fun... I want this to restart or something.

[Vegito]

Viv contacted me about reviving this tournament yesterday.
What do you guys think? It was a fun tournament, and reviving it could be a good idea.
Sure the Netherlands would usually be able to get 3 players, same for Poland, Finland and perhaps the UK I suppose.

[Grytolle]

I'd be glad to help with arranging (Sweden doesnt have much prospects of playing :P)

[Vegito]

You .. you and errr.. your bro

[Ragnarok!]

We've lost Messiah to Maplestory, oh well, but we'll just use PJ and spazzer!

[Superjazz]

Only what I really need to do to melt this thing is to get the team rosters up-to-date. As far as I know, team North America is now counted out unless there will be enough activity soon. That would mean there are 3 matches remaining for the groupstage. Those are:

Finland vs Poland
Finland vs The Netherlands
The Netherlands vs United Kingdom

Half of the matches have been played. Now each country should gather as many players as possible to play for this. Also, we'll have to work hard with Emp for a team for Finland, I guess. The matches no more have an order which they should be played in. So yeah, you could now just arrange times yourself. I would give a deadline for all those 3 matches to be played till though.

To avoid a mess in the gathering, I've named these people as country leaders responsible to find enough players for their country's team.

FIN - SJ/Emp
NL - Veg/DS
POL - Sasik/Sperry
UK - Rag/PJ

Also I would like to welcome our two new Supervisors:
Grytolle - Will be hopefully setting up a section in jj.net for this tournament as well
Ragnarok - Will be handling things mainly for UK (Now that there's at least one supervisor from each participating country, things should become handy)

If things start to go on smooth, you can expect we could get this going again on the next week maybe! Time to get it running!

[Vegito]

Sperry for Poland perhaps? It's just a suggestion as she's more active than sasik at the moment

[Superjazz]

So be it for now. ;)

[Quickz]

I haven't been too interested in JJ2 lately, but our first match was so much fun that I'd be happy to play for the Netherlands..

[Sasik]

Sperry for Poland perhaps? It's just a suggestion as she's more active than sasik at the moment

Well, maybe I haven't played JJ2 too much lately, but I still read JCF ;P

[Vegito]

I sort of remember Finland beating Poland in the last second of the last game but I am not all that positively sure anymore. It could as well have been a team battle tournament. I somehow remember some the Netherlands Vs. Finland sort of game too but yet again I am not positive. It might be me starting to mix up matches....


Seems like Sperry replaced Robee, Sasik

[Grytolle]

http://jazzjackrabbit.net/index.php?op=ntourney

:) Supervisors: contact me if you can't edit the pages when signed in to jj.net

[Quickz]

I had these and never uploaded them and SJ's link isn't working..

Round 1, Jungle's Edge (Dutch choice):

Round 2, BloodBunny's Lair (Polish choice):

http://www.freewebs.com/quickzcc/NationBBlairpng.PNG

[Vegito]

Perhaps I remember from the first try of this tournament when way more countries joined. For example Italy and such too

[Grytolle]

Thx a lot QZ^^ Ill try to add some games to the webpage tonight

[Grytolle]

Please post the other no longer working screenshots, Viv and whoever :)

http://jazzjackrabbit.net/index.php?op=ntourney&wa=matches

Did I miss any games?

[Superjazz]

Those are the 3 matches that have been played so far Gry. Unfortunately I don't have any of the screenshots anymore, since they went with the old hard drive. Sorry about that. :(

We can only hope that another supervisor (Emp/Sasik/Veg) or some player still has them.

I sort of remember Finland beating Poland in the last second of the last game but I am not all that positively sure anymore. It could as well have been a team battle tournament. I somehow remember some the Netherlands Vs. Finland sort of game too but yet again I am not positive. It might be me starting to mix up matches....

I guess you're not confusing with matches, since I can remember something like a FIN vs POL has been played too. But then I thought, that it might have been played in the original National Tournament, Emp's edition. Sounds plausible?

[Vegito]

ah yes true.
And no, I never had any screenshots simply because I cant make any at jj2.

[Sasik]

I sort of remember Finland beating Poland in the last second of the last game but I am not all that positively sure anymore. It could as well have been a team battle tournament.

Actually, it was a bit different :p
http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showpost.php?p=399571&postcount=164 :cool:

[Superjazz]

Heh, idd Sasik. :D

Alright friends, you may now begin entering your teams, if you have managed to find a minimum amount of players already(4.)

The mappool remains the same, and all the rules as well. Once I've got the teams, you can begin arranging your matches. Deadline for those 3 matches has been set to April 30th for now, but will be shortened or delayed depending on when we're going to get this started. :v

[Vegito]

For now...

Veg, Chiyu, DS and Quickz for the Netherlands.
If we don't make it with this I suppose we can get FawF00l, Sweet, CelL or whoever is able to play at that moment. Even Anakin. I mean, we can choose all Dutch players anyway and there are enough of them.

[Ragnarok!]

I think all UK has is PJ, his bro, me, my bro, and Spazzer. But I haven't even asked any yet... I'll do that o.0

[Grytolle]

Messiah and your interested friend!

[Quickz]

... we can get FawF00l, ...

I second that second part! ^^ XD

[master sven]

Why don't we have a tourney to decide who are the best (Team) Players?

[Vegito]

What do you mean. Doesn't this one decide a lot already?

[master sven]

I think we should not let just someone that plays in the tourney himself (also goes for other teams) decide (partly) on his own who participate in the tourney, but we should inform ourselves about who are interested to play for it and let them play a small tourney and then let people who are not playing on the same team (or stats) decide who are the best to be in the national team(s). In this way quality and skill > settled names.

[Superjazz]

It should be quite simple. You use the best line-up as possible of those players you have available when a match is about to be played. Not all the players from the country are able to play at a certain time always anyway. I can add you for NL's squad too though, MSven. ;p

[Sasik]

POL~Team is ready. }> For now it's Maverick, Sperry, Sasik, Warrior, Dragon, Mati, Robee, Fox, Ktos, Lejdi O+

However, I think we might use every polish player.

So, just contact me or Sperry whenever Finland will complete its team.

[Superjazz]

Updated (http://www.jazzjackrabbit.net/index.php?op=ntourney&wa=teams)

[Vegito]

I do not allow SR to play for Poland though.

[master sven]

Finally no Aprill Fools jokes today....:P

[Grytolle]

Cool line-up, Sasik!

Veg: We'll have to discuss that :o ( http://jazzjackrabbit.net/index.php?op=ntourney&wa=notepad )

[Vegito]

Imo it'd be a disaster to allow him ;p
Well, basically I'm saying it's either him or me gone. I just don't want to face him.

[cooba]

I just don't want to face him.SCARED?????????<!--caps-->

[Vegito]

Annoyed ;(

...Half the jj2 community is annoyed by him anyway.

[cooba]

Annoyed ;(

...Half the jj2 community is annoyed by him anyway.SCARED?????????<!--caps-->

[Vegito]

OK I ADMIT

[Grytolle]

(this is why I didn't think it clever to discuss *here*)

[Superjazz]

All the teams look fine now. Remember that you(clanleaders) are allowed to add any more players from your country that you may still find until the Semi-finals. The tournament is ready to get continued again. At least the following matches should be played during the upcoming weekend:

Finland vs Poland
The Netherlands vs United Kingdom

Finland vs The Netherlands should be played as soon as possible too, but it could be likely played on April 10th-12th. The absolute deadline for all of these 3 matches is April 30th.

You may now start arranging match times for your matches. Guess I will try to contact Sasik soon as well.

[Vegito]

I and Chiyu are unable to play at the weekend of easter, which is 10-12 april.
I'll see what I can do about NL Vs UK this weekend =\

[Raven aka StL]

I'll only be available on saturday, this weekend.

[Vegito]

Perhaps the Netherlands could play against Finland too this saturday.. =O

[DarkSonic]

I won't be available on Saturday. I will be away from 3 April till 10 April. But we have lots of other players that could play.

[Superjazz]

2 matches have been arranged for this weekend by now. I tried to make the times to look clear for everyone playing.

Finland vs. The Netherlands - 04/04/09 ~18:30 GDT (19:30 for The Netherlands, 20:30 for Finland)

Finland vs. Poland - 05/04/09 ~14:00 GDT (15 for Poland, 16 for Finland)

@St.Louis: Should be no problem if you can't play on Sunday, we got a substitute for that pretty surely. If you don't mind. :P

So two matches for Finland. I'm expecting for NL vs UK to be arranged soon as well.

[Vegito]

The Netherlands vs the uk might be played on Sunday. Nothing is sure yet.

[Superjazz]

Finland vs Netherlands has been played.

Round 1 in Jungle's Edge (Nl's choice)
Finland: Nerd/St.Louis/Vivando
The Netherlands: Chiyu/Quickz/Vegito
8-3 to NL.

Round 2 in BloodBunny's Lair (Fi's choice)
Finland: Same
The Netherlands: Same
8-4 to NL.

Overall 16-7 to the Netherlands.

More details and statistics following sooner or later.

[Vegito]

Okay.
In JE our team was quite a bit better at the start. It started to get more even throughout the game, and at one point Nerd had such an incredible luck/timed score. It was more luck than timing however. Lol. Either way, we ended up with a nice lead.

BBlair was a lot harder however. We ended up losing 1-0 immediately as I couldn't get flag with 3 and nor could Quickz. Either way, after that we scored 1-1 fast again, but once again they got a 2-1 lead. I was expecting to lose as for some reason I couldn't stay alive at all at first nor get ammo or whatsoever. We kept being on low health and made a lot of mistakes. We managed to keep up and squeeze some scores though with good timing. That's exactly the point Finland kept failing at generally. 8-4 seriously is far against the game play. They were RTS a lot. I think I personally played damn bad at the start, and had bad luck 3 or 4 times too at first. After that I got ammo more often and RTSing got easier too I must admit. Did have some nice timing and luck too scoring.
JE I never really felt like we were under pressure, unlike BBlair where we were under pressure all the time.

[Raven aka StL]

My take on this is that it would've been a whole lot closer had QZ not just bounced without getting hurt whenever (and that means whenever) I shot him.

Had little to no problem roasting tom and veg, though.

gg

[master sven]

The Netherlands vs the uk might be played on Sunday. Nothing is sure yet.

I could probably play this evening if that would be the case.

[Vegito]

15:30 Dutch time it will be played

[CelL]

If you have any open slots on the Dutch team I'd enjoy playing in that, if I'm allowed and all.

[Vegito]

sure you are :)

[Sasik]

POL vs FIN was finally played today. Finland chose semi and Poland chose je.
It was good game. Not that easy, as it should be for us ;P Thanks to FawFul for hosting.

http://sasik87.webd.pl/versus/pol_fin_je.jpg

http://sasik87.webd.pl/versus/pol_fin_semi.jpg

Overall: Poland vs Finland 13-8.

[Superjazz]

It's all posted here (http://www.jazzjackrabbit.net/index.php?op=ntourney&wa=matches#5). So go check that for more details.

Also, The Netherlands vs United Kingdom is the only remaining match in group stage. Since next weekend is Easter, I'm expecting the game to be played earliest within two weeks. So I've put the absolute deadline till May 3rd for that match to be played(which is Sunday.)

So for now, have a Happy Easter!

[Vegito]

Thx. And fortunately a few matches have been played this weekend. Makes JJ2 more active :)

[Raven aka StL]

All groupstage matches have been played till now. Good job guys. (y)

Semi-Final matches can be arranged from now on. Deadline for both matches is May 24th (Sunday), so it's nothing very urgent.

See this (http://www.jazzjackrabbit.net/index.php?op=ntourney) for more information.

An important change from now on will be the new mappool of 3 maps. I picked out the 3 most played maps, to make it more simple in case of a tie. Those maps are:

BloodBunny's Lair
Jungle's Edge
Security Breach v2

Yes, if you did read the rules, it has been mentioned there are tiebreakers from now on if needed in case of ties(Score-based of course.) You now have to pick your map from the pool only. If there will be a tiebreaker round, the map that wasn't chosen by either countrym get's played in that round. The tiebreaker rounds have the same rules as normal rounds. However, if the game is still tied after 20 minutes of play, there will be 10 minutes of overtime. The team to score the next point wins the game. If the game is still tied even after the overtime, the country that positioned better in groupstage wins by default. I made that change, so that a match couldn't last hours for overall, eventhough it'd be very unlikely.
