Subject: Arcade Champions League 2
Friends, our friend Yogurtu-Nge had a recommendation that I would like to share with you. Our friend asked if we could think of a format in which the eliminated teams could continue the tournament. I said there would be no problem, I would be happy to do it. I also need your thoughts on this matter. Say what?
Thanks, tyfn1914!
To elaborate a bit more, my idea is pretty simple: the same way teams qualified 1st and 2nd in the group stage will qualify for a round of 16 and continue playing until we have a champion, I propose we do the same for teams which qualified 3rd and 4th. in the group stage. That way we all continue playing at least for 1 more round.
These would be like 2 separate tournaments after the group stage and the same rules will apply for both. Thoughts?

1st and 2nd qualified teams will fight for Champions League title.
3rd and 4th for Europa League title.
3rd and 4th for Europa League title.
Well if you want to do that you can just go ahead and do classification rounds until the end:
After the group stages you have games for 1-16th place and 17th-32nd.
The winners and losers proceed to play 1-8th, 9th-16th, 17th-24th and 25th-32nd.
Next round: 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-20, 21-24, 25-28 and 29-32.
And then you have 16 classification finals with the winners taking 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, .... , 31rd place.
That would have the advantage that everyone gets to play the same amount of games and you eventually end up playing teams that are probably very close to your own level.
But it obviously takes a bit longer to organize.

Clearly free plus will only be for the winner of the main tournament, or Champions League as LowPing called it.
The rest is just for fun. My proposal is for those of us without any chances to go beyond the first round to have at least 2 extra matches (home and away matches in Round of 16 in Europa League).

Ok friends, the tournament will continue in 2 stages.
1st and 2nd places will continue in the Champions League. The teams in the 3rd and 4th places will continue the tournament as the UEFA Europa League.

It's not really competitive idea
I would say every team has second chance idea so even teams eliminated in main flow to have second chance
So something like this will be better
1-16 lost teams
Play winners from 17 to 32
And this continues till end so basically when you are eliminated in playoffs you have second chance too..

plus will only be given to the champion team. As in the first rule
