The European Volleyball Championship is a sport competition for national teams, currently held biannually and there are both men's and women's competitions. This tournament is based on the men's tournament to celebrate the success of Estonian men's volleyball national team who now has qualified for the second time in a row to be part of the competition where top 16 European teams decide the best European country in volleyball. This tournament is based on The 2011 Men's European Volleyball Championship which was co-hosted by Austria and Czech Republic. Yes, it's a bit late but I did not have time to run this before, even though I prepared the whole tournament several months ago.

Setup
Tournament consists of 2 rounds: preliminary (round robin - Europa map) and championship (bracket of 8 - Europe map);
Preliminary round consists of 4 pools of 4 nations (16 people overall) where everybody plays each other once (3 matches overall). Top 2 from each pool advance to championship bracket;
Each match consists of up to 5 sets (i.e. CC games) that will be played one at a time until first person reaches 3 wins;
Advancement is decided by points earned; tie situations will be broke by the sets' win-loss ratio (=won sets/lost sets);
Winning a match gives 2 points, losing a match 1 point;
Championship round will consist of quarterfinals (4 matches), semifinals (2 matches) and finals (1st and 3rd place matches). It's a simple best of 5 bracket where match ends when first person reaches 3 set wins;
Winner of the final match is declared winner of the tournament.

Scoreboard can be found in the second post of this topic and I have already created games thanks to getting privileges so fast. But, it is late so I won't be able to send out the games right now. Expect them tomorrow though, latest on Thursday.
Enjoy the tournament!

I just want to apologize because I won't be able to take my turns from tomorrow from about 13.00 'till Monday afternoon. I hope I won't make too much trouble with it.
