Day 1 Format:
Groups depends mainly of the total number of players, but the target is to create groups of 8 players. The format will be TEAM A = TEAM B, 2×5 MIN, 1 LEG.
Each player should have the same amount of TEAM A and TEAM B matches.
Day 2:
This match day is charachterized by three parallel competitions, all TEAM A > TEAM B, 2×5 MIN, 2 LEG knockout matches. Both playoff and playout will be fully played until each player will have its unique ranking position (like Koeln05 and London06).
The TOP16 players will have access to the WORLD CUP.
The MID16 players will have access to the KOA CUP.
The other will access to the FUN CUP.
Qualifiying mode depends of group of day1. Generally, the same qualifying rules as London06 will be used. Organizers will post the final format for discussion after the preregistration.
In case of tie matches, extra times will be played. In this case, a coin will be tossed to decide Team A. The extra times are played in TEAM A = TEAM B mode, 2×5 MIN EXTRA TIME, PENALTY SHOOTOUT.

It’s back now! In cooperation with Individual Computers, SPEED-LINK now re-creates the joystick in its classic form: The Competition Pro with a plug for Commodore, Amiga, Atari, Amstrad/Schneider CPC and MSX Systems.
Between the turns you see newspaper reports which tell about riots, upcoming conflicts and other important news. You win the game by being the only country left, but you can´t invade all countries. Iran, Iraq and Libya are too far away so they either have to be invaded by other countries (they all have their own wars) or thrown over by the insurgency (so keep supporting them all the time!). Jordania and Lebanon are easy prey, but Syria and Egypt are hard to beat on the battlefield. Either you invest lots of time in supporting the guerillas or you find allies. Neither country can survive a war on two fronts.
Every year there’s a big Middle East summit where you can decide to agree to a Palestinian homeland, promise the US not to increase your army and stuff. Your decisions have strong influence on your relations to the US so choose wisely.
