I'm sorry Konstantin but yes. The distribution of the groups is done compared to the past season:
1st - Group A 2nd - Group B 3rd - Group B 4th - Group A 5th - Group A 6th - Group B 7th - Group B 8th - Group A
The idea is to give importance to the ranking match. I use this split from the beginning in S52. The idea is to give a bonus to the winner who avoids the second and the third who are therefore in fact in the same group. The 8th is in the same group as the first and for the others are distributed to try to balance the groups. The problem you are raising is that Team Edifice, who recently joined the competition, has just been promoted. On the same logic of giving a bonus to the ranking match, the winner of the silver division avoids the winner of the gold division. So yes this season it's a group of death. It happened several times in the French group where we found ourselves with the same group the 3 best French teams of the moment. These groups have given anthologies that can still be remembered by the PSC and French Kiss to name a few. After harder is the most beautiful opponent is the victory.
I take this message to clarify that I slightly changed the distribution of platinum groups after returning late last season. I reversed the order of the second, so that the best second is not in the same group as the best first. Feel free to give me a feedback on this change.
Thanks again for your participation

I think the problem is that the International group is too strong. We (Cavalli Malati) had something like 23.16 points per round on average, which is higher than half of the teams who qualified for Platinum. But we didn't even have a chance to get into Platinum, because we only finished 3rd in our group (behind Matrëshka and Force One). So instead, we had to fight against relegation to Silver. :)
But I guess you can also argue that, because we are international, we have a bigger pool to recruit managers from, so it's easier to put a strong team together compared to national teams.

The basic concept is actually to make national competitions. The international group was created to open the cup to all. But actually the level is obligatorily higher. I think of another distribution of the teams in turntables to take into account this characteristic.
But we are one of the outsider team in the France group, and yet that did not prevent us on the wrong choices to go down in the bronze division and back!

I'm working on a interface for platinium but it's guillaume who make classifications.
A little busy I think, but don't forget to send him your composition!

I understand @Sébastien Boulanger (P5), but how can we send a composition if we don't know any of the last 2 rounds results? Sorry to say that...but the PLatinum Cup is becoming a little messy and annoying. The results always delaying, but we MUST send our compositions...even if we don't know the next contender.

Be fair. Guillaume asked for a volunteer to take over the Platinum Cup one season ago, and nobody did it. He's doing what he can. If you think it's not good enough... do it yourself.

"Watch out we got a bad ass over here"
@Jasper Coosemans (M2) If you're committed to something, you must be committed 100%. If you can't do it 100%, it's better to not do it. That's how I think.
For sure we all have a RL that's drain us. And that's why I haven't volunteer myself to help.
There is always a deadline (and this is needed, for sure). But it's becoming an one-way compromise. The team captains are doing the best to accomplish the deadlines....but, in my sincerely and respectfully opinion, the Platinum Cup organization isn't doing the same. Results are delaying, a couple of times i have sent private messages to Guillaume about mistakes in the points awarded. The cup strategies asks for the correct results BEFORE THE DEADLINE in order to we think what composition will match the team needs

@Edgar Xavier (A37) We can understand your complain but it's not so easy. Guillaume make all with his hand.... And create an interface take time, like the dev of Go, I'm also a little busy.
You can check results and times of your opponents and see if you win or loose. Then, you can know your group and adjust your strategy before Tuesday 🙏
Edit: I'm seeing that Guillaume haven't post the composition of playoffs. He do it for France group, I contact him

Hello,
I apologize for the delays in updating. I will try to do the full update before the GP3 but I'm running out of IRL time.
We try to find a solution for a better fluidity in the results. Sébastien works on an interface, and for my part I try to optimize my files to save time. My tools were optimized for a cut, unfortunately with use I realize that it is heavy to manage for 7 cuts.
To know your opponent, you can refer to the seed tables, which gives you the first games (1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3) in each group of each division.
Still sorry for these times. and thank you for your understanding to all

I understand your annoyance Edgar, and it is not for pleasure that I fall behind. The competition worked well (at least I think so) for almost 20 seasons, but I had a job that allowed it. Since the beginning of the year, I have changed jobs and it allows me less time than I wish and that is why we are working on another solution to perpetuate it anyway.
Still sorry for these delays and thanks again to those who help me

I am sorry to tell you that I am going to stop the Platinum Cup, not finding the time to organize it in addition to my new job. I'll see in the future if I have time to take it back.
I'm sorry again.

I had many silly games and understand. Don't worry. Thanks for the fun! I hope see you again

I'll try to release as soon as a site or app for it, to be more reactive. But like Guillaume, irl was hard for the moment!
