How it works: 7 groups of 4 teams, top 2 from each group make it in plus, out of the 7 3rd-placed teams, the top 2 will also make it in. Knockout stage will play out the same way all Champions Leagues play out, with 2-game aggregate scorelines for each round except the final.
How it affects ratings: See FC Edmonton at the top? Well, if they're not champions, their rating goes down by 5%...If Washington Walruses doesn't finish in the top 2, they'll go down by 5%. But, say for example, Edmonton wins the tourney and/or Washington finishes 2nd. Their ratings won't change. However, if Washington finishes 1st, their rating will go up by 5%...OF 100 - THEIR RATING! Say for example, Atlanta Silverbacks make it out of the group stage. 100 - 1 = 99, 5% is 4.95 round up to 5, their rating improves from 1 to 6. Long story short, this could make or break a lot of teams.
To sum it up:
1. If you're good and do good your rating will improve a little 2. If you're bad and do good your rating will improve a lot 3. If you do as expected your rating doesn't change 4. If you're good and do worse than expected your rating will decrease a lot 5. If you're bad and do worse than expected your rating will decrease a little (or none)
Expectations based on team rank:
1. Win the tourney 2. Championship game 3-4. Semifinals 5-8. Quarterfinals 9-16. Knockout stages 17-28. Group stage (can't decrease rating)

1. Ottawa Oblivion FC 2-0-1 Goals: 6 GA: 2 GD: 4 TOTAL POINTS: 7 Owner: Death 2. Hartford Whales 1-1-1 Goals: 4 GA: 7 GD: -3 TOTAL POINTS: 4 Owner: Pri 3. Atlanta Silverbacks 1-2-0 Goals: 9 GA: 6 GD: 3 TOTAL POINTS: 3 Owner: Milan 4. Hartford Hawks 1-2-0 Goals: 7 GA: 11 GD: -4 TOTAL POINTS: 3 Owner: Drbat
In Group A, Ottawa dominates the group as expected and takes the title. The Oblivion started off with a 3-0 domination of Drbat's Hartford Hawks and later escaped a close game with the Atlanta Silverbacks. Speaking of the Silverbacks, for the worst rated team in the ISL, they performed admirably, dominating Drbat's Hartford Hawks 7-2 in their 2nd game and losing to Ottawa by just one goal. Drbat will be incredibly disappointed to finish last in a group with the worst team in the ISL universe and his rival, the Hartford Whales. Congratulations to Milanfan on his 3rd place finish. |

A tough group sees the Phoenix Fighting Pencils come out on top and Monterrey second. Atlanta Metro FC still has a chance to qualify but it's unlikely. Very disappointing result for Camboo's Boston who was projected into the quarterfinals, he is on the hot seat now. For Obby, this is a fantastic development and one that could finally get his team over the hump. Monterrey was expected to qualify, and Atlanta Metro FC performed admirably, beating a solid Boston team 2-0 on the final day. |

Certainly a very surprising result, with 2x ISL champion Toronto FC crashing out in the first round thanks to a lackluster defense. Speaking of lackluster defense, Club has managed to lead the Midwestern Explorers to a first place bid in the group despite a whopping 8 goals allowed! However, this is mainly due to LA's 7-0 thrashing of Midwestern on the final day (lol). Both clubs are on the rise and look to be underdogs in the knockout stages, but primed for an upset or two. |

An interesting group nonetheless, it's former champs Orlando who have taken the first place spot, followed by the favorites FC Edmonton. Edmonton slipped up in their first game, but behind a stingy defense they managed to claim 2nd in the group and a spot in the round of 16. Recently relocated team New Orleans tried their best but was overwhelmed to begin with. Victoria might be able to claim a spot with their 0 GD. |

OH MY. TALK ABOUT THE SHOCK OF THE CENTURY. TITLE GAME FAVORITES WASHINGTON WALRUSES NOT ONLY DIDN'T QUALIFY, THEY FINISHED LAST! WITH A 3-0 LOSS TO HATED RIVALS WASHINGTON FC! Shocking stuff here, first of all, the Columbus Storm, the 2nd worst team out of 28 teams, have finished with 7 total points and a goal ifferential of 6...Beating the Toronto Scorpions 5-0 along the way...An absolutely unbelievable shocker here. Als, some candidates for game of the year on the final day, what a heart attack game (Washington FC 5-6 Toronto Scorpions) was, the Scorps needing a win to qualify. The Walruses were able to qualify as well on the final game against an "easy" Columbus Storm team, but were unable to even win that! Washington FC has a decent chance to qualify along with the already-clinched Columbus Storm and Toronto Scorpions. |

Tampa made quick work of their group, becoming the first team to finish with all 9 points. Esteemed franchise Fargo also managed to squeak into the knockout stages thanks to an attacking force that ended with a 2-0 win against AMA, who finished with 0 points. Disappointing for Mario's side. |
