Number of groups and Qualified teams per group before bracket

The group stage only works when setup already points to the next stage.

In mobile, Group stage + knockout starts in Taxonomy and format. The organizer defines Number of groups, teams per group, and Qualified teams per group before generating the structure.

That review prevents an invalid combination when the first stage ends. If the qualifiers do not form a valid elimination bracket, the league needs to Adjust the groups or qualifiers before publishing the championship.

Group stage rounds, Group distribution, and Knockout start

The hybrid format alternates between group standings and Knockout stage without leaving the official record.

Group stage rounds defines whether the first stage has 1 round (single leg) or 2 rounds (home and away). Group distribution defines whether teams enter groups sequentially or randomly.

Knockout start shows which phase starts the bracket. From there, matches, refereeing, digital match sheets, media, standings, and history stay connected to the same championship.

How this format enters the Copa Fut flow

The choice starts in Taxonomy and format, but it only works once it becomes the official structure.

In the app, Group stage + knockout in Copa Fut starts during championship setup alongside modality, category, schedule, and rules. That base defines whether the league will operate a bracket, groups, rounds, standings, or a combination of those blocks.

That view turns groups and knockouts championship into an operational decision. The format has to support real matches, digital match sheets, refereeing, standings, and official publishing without creating a second routine outside Copa Fut.

What to review before opening it to teams and fans

The structure needs to be clear before it becomes a public schedule, bracket, or table.

Before publishing the competition, review slots, registered teams, dispute rules, tiebreakers, walkovers, and what the current plan unlocks for that championship.

When that review happens on the same record, the league reduces mid-season format changes and preserves the official reading for athletes, coaches, referees, sponsors, and fans.
