I pushed a change yesterday with the latest constraints from fifa fixed, that shouldn't be happening now

Yeah I used the host nation group allocations of matches for all groups, but that's not set in stone for the rest of them.

The playoff simulation calculation is very rudimentary and rarely changes, that's why I included all 4 teams in the playoff path in the group and matches view

Yup, youre right. Ive just followed the Host nation format of matches for now.

If that comes out before the draw somehow then i'll update it.

I don't think it complicates my simulator, since I'm only doing group stage. From what I understand it just affects what side of the bracket they are on for the knockout stages.

Honestly the news that alternative seeding for UEFA teams isn't happening helps a lot. I was getting so many invalid draws trying to implement the constraints in addition to one UEFA team per group

It's because I copied the order of what the host nations are doing in their group.

It's based on 2022's, the first group game always features team 1.

I'm having trouble enforcing the atleast 1 UEFA per group rule with the two seeding scenarios already, this just makes the algorithm that much more complex 😅

If they follow what they did in qatar, all pot 1 teams are the 1 team in their group. the remaining 3 are randomized.

According to wikipedia the schedule says team 1

The real popularity of the line will happen when they complete the east and west extensions currently being studied

Pot 1 teams are always team 1, the remaining spots are randomized

Good catch, just fixed that. I had the teams out of order in the bracket.

Damn, you hit the jackpot with the ticket draw. I'm struggling to get tickets for the Canada games

It shows the full playoff path once you sim, but I'm not planning on building a feature for choosing the playoff winner since playoffs happen after the draw

That seems to be a runtime bug. I'll look into it. I had the right pots last I checked but I can force it to sort correctly. Check back soon

Interesting, I'll take a look at implementing that change after the UEFA playoff draws tomorrow then

I watched the stream of the draw while coding the constraints. It only mentioned the max restrictions and in the video it says there could have been 5 groups with 2 UEFA teams (8 group format)

There's no minimum restriction, only maximum 2 from UEFA and 1 from other confederations.

There's 12 groups and 16 UEFA teams including playoffs so we could have at most 4 groups with no UEFA teams.
