Z manuálu:
The national team competitions take place over the course of two seasons. During the first season, teams will compete in a continental championship tournament that also serves as the qualifying tournament for the World Championships. During the second season, the best teams will compete in the World Championships
Z tohto mi vychádza, že na ME sme aj teraz.
A ani tu nepíšu, že by sa hrala najprv kvalifikácia na ME:
Europe Schedule: There are 48 teams in BuzzerBeater Europe. The 48 teams are drawn into six groups, with three groups containing seven teams and three groups containing eight teams. Each group will play a round robin from Week 2 to Week 8. The top two teams will advance into two second-round groups of six, with no teams from the same 1st Round group drawn into the same 2nd round group. Results will not carry forward from the 1st Round to the 2nd Round. These groups play a round robin from Week 9 to Week 13. The top two from each group play in the semifinals in Week 14 and finals the Friday of Week 14. The two finalists qualify for the World Championships. The remaining two semifinalists as well as both teams finishing third in a second-round group qualify for the Second Chance Qualifiers.
Viem, že niektorí to môžu nazývať inak, ale podľa manuálu začína kontinentálna súťaž skupinovou fázou. Išlo mi presne o to, aby si ľudia pozreli aj manuál a aby sa zblížili so systémom súťaží NT. Dúfam, že postačuje takáto odpoveď :)
