Hmm according to the poll, the internet demands this tournament to be held!

Just released a preview of what will be to come beginning May 12th before the World Cup begins!

By the way, here's a video with an upbeat song in it. It's the type of spirit we should have at the World Cup! You don't have to care about the team profile .

For those of you who don't understand the World Cup format, have a read at this by @PE Brony

 

Most of my fellow Americans seem to struggle understanding a round-robin formatted tournament...the closest thing they know of is NCAA's 64 team single elimination bracket, and the post-season single elimination tournaments of Football and Basketball.

It's not that hard, everypony!

The members of each group (let's use Group A [[Sweetie Belle, Shining Armor, Princess Luna, The Great and Powerful Trixie]] for example), will compete with each other member of their group head-to-head.

Sweetie Belle vs Shining Armor
Sweetie Belle vs Princess Luna
Sweetie Belle vs The Great and Powerful Trixie
Shining Armor vs Princess Luna
Shining Armor vs The Great and Powerful Trixie
Princess Luna vs The Great and Powerful Trixie

Notice that each contestant will compete against each other contestant within their group (They each participate in 3 matches).
Voters will vote for each match-up (in the FIFA world cup the teams play against each other).

If a Pony wins, they will be awarded 3 points.
If a Pony loses, they will be awarded 0 points.
If there is a tie between them, they will each be awarded 1 point.

When all 6 of the group's matches have been completed, the four contestants will be ordered by total points received. The top two from each group then advance to the next round (the round of 16).

Then, depending on the system, the Winner of Group A will face the Runner-Up from a different Group B; and the Runner-Up in Group A will face the Winner from Group B.

Starting in the round of 16, the tournament will become a single-elimination format until a Winner is decided!

Here's the FIFA tournament schedule for comparison:

Can you tell I'm excited for the MLPF World Cup?? haha   They're in order of their first round of matches! Just missing four character flags that should be done soon!

 

Now I need to do the same for the FIFA World Cup!

[Inactive01 5,299]

Watch the Season finale. It's just pure epic. A lot of the characters in the World Cup will have their strength severely changed by what happens in the finale.

Fluttershy v. Angel? TBH, I think that's a bit easy for Fluttershy...

 

Twilight v. Vinyl & Scootaloo v. Princess Celestia? Tough battles

[boblol2 52]

I'm a basic html coder, so I know how difficult it is to make something like this happen.

By the looks of what you have so far, the quality is great, so keep doing what your doing and thanks for putting your time and effort to make this happen.

 

Team Derpy!

[PE Brony 1,712]

Finally got all of the flags made! Though Bulk Biceps' flag may be a temporary one...First round matches!

 

 

 

[Inactive01 5,299]

*Sigh*

 

If only we had a World Cup TV theme like this... Anyway, this is good enough.

Looks like the I used the power of the Alicorn Amulet to get that vote for my Trixie flag! haha

(Thanks for the credit!  )

I have placed a new poll question for you to answer, and I have also written a blog post that shows you how the 2014 MLPF World Cup will work in detail!

I'm thinking Princess Luna vs The Great & Powerful Trixie should be a good match up!

At which point? The Alicorn Amulet flag replacing your Cape-inspired version? I had nothing to do with it. I mean, other than I made that flag, but I though Sterling had gone with the cape version until I saw the flags he used in the match ups under the spoiler in the OP.

Yeah. And ok. :3 

 

But I suspect... SABTAAAAGE... JK!

Good luck ponies who will win wel who cares, rember its just a contest not life or death so cheer on ur favorite pony but plz dont fuss if they lose ok

[~Rule 63~ Lyeco 527]

Guys vote for twilight! She needs to win over vinyl!

[Inactive01 5,299]

Exactly 4 weeks until the 2014 MLPF and FIFA World Cups begin. It felt like yesterday when we began World Cup Qualifying for the ponies in question, trimming the competition from 128 to 32... For all 32 characters, making it to the inaugural World Cup should already be an honour. That being said, may the best pony win when we begin in 4 weeks.

[Inactive01 5,299]

Just a heads up guys! The World Cup will begin at 9:00 pm EST, June 11th! This is so that the majority of the match takes place on June 12th and so that it doesn't fall a day behind the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

[yayayayayala 1,668]

Rarity vs Derpy Hooves will probably turn out to be a popcorn-worthy event XD! With over five thousand posts in the Rarity fanclub, I'm sure her faithful Ghost (er, Champion now), fans and followers will fight courageously to bring her to the win, but then again, the adorable Derpy Hooves does have a lot of admirers. I'll be interested to see how that turns out!

[Inactive01 5,299]

If you guys haven't noticed yet, I have interviews flying all around of your fellow fans! Have a read!
