2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup
|
2014 4chan Winter Cup
|
2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup
|
The 2014 4chan Winter Cup will be the tenth official 4chan Cup tournament and the third iteration of the Winter Cup series. It will be played from February 14 to March 2, 2014 on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with the exception of Friday, February 28, 2014. The tournament features a mixture of teams that qualified from the 2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup, as well as the teams who managed to qualify to the knockout phase of the 2013 4chan Summer Cup.
As winner of the previous elite competition, /wg/ are the host board of this event. This is the third Cup under 4chan Cup Commissioner DrBorisG !!9Egy5BjxCDo, and the first one to be hosted with Pro Evolution Soccer 2014.
Rules
The tournament features 32 teams competing. There are two stages: the group stage followed by the knockout stage.
In the group stage, teams compete within eight groups of four teams each. Teams are split into 4 pots considering their positions in the Rankings, and each group must have a team from each pot.
Each group plays a round-robin tournament, in which each team is scheduled for three matches against other teams in the same group. The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage.
The ranking of each team in each group is determined as follows:
- Greatest number of points in group matches
- Greatest goal difference in group matches
- Greatest number of goals scored in group matches
- Head-to-head results.
- If any of the teams above remain level after applying the above criteria, a tiebreaker match will be played with extra-time and penalties.
The knockout stage is a single-elimination tournament in which teams play each other in one-off matches, with extra time and penalty shootouts used to decide the winner if necessary. It begins with the round of 16 (or the second round) in which the winner of each group plays against the runner-up of another group. This is followed by the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, the third-place match (contested by the losing semi-finalists), and the final.
Two yellow cards (gotten in seperate matches) or a red card mean that a player is suspended for the next game. Yellow cards are wiped on two occasions:
- At the end of the group stages
- At the end of the semi-finals
Competitors
Thirty-two teams are competing at this tournament, sixteen of the teams qualified by means of advancing to the knockout phase from the 2013 4chan Summer Cup, and sixteen qualified by means of advancing from the 2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Qualifiers, divided in 8 groups with 4 teams each, top 2 from each group are promoted to the 2014 4chan Summer Cup, and the teams finishing in the bottom two of their group will have to play in the 2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup.
The following teams qualified by advancing from the 2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup:

Draw
The draw for the cup took place at 17:00 GMT on Saturday, February 1, 2014. Rankings determined the placement of competitors in four seeding pots, with the highest-ranked teams being placed in Pot 1, the next-highest in Pot 2 and so on until all pots were filled, the exception being /fa/ got dropped to pot 4 due to uncertainty regarding their export situation. Pots following the 2014 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies were:
Teams were drawn randomly into the groups, such that each group contained a competitor from each pot, forming eight groups of four teams each.
