Pokal / Tournament - how do i?

[fgrosswig]

I have barely Problems to understand the difference between thoses Settings:

What does "Pokal" at the beginning of a challenge mean at all? it wipes out any settings for the game type. In which condition i can use this? For regular tournaments?

Also i Need to understand what to do with

Wettbewerbstyp:
Liga (not need to explain)
Pokal ???
Einzelspiele ???

Liga i am able to explain myself - it is for the whole season but guess i have a tournament with 12 teams playing 3 Groups each 4 teams. How do i generate and show such event on the page? just publish a Pokal and make manual games correct? but how do i collect and stat the result ending up each on each? I mean how i have to create a torunament right? the Liga for a Season is easy explained but a 2 days tounament i have some Problems which isnt explained in the documentation at all.

Thanks for clearing it up and provide the right hints.

You have to create 3 competitions of type league, one for each group. For the finals you have to create one more competition of type cup. Add the the matches manually here, as soon as the group scores finished.
In frontend you should create at least one special page for this tournament. Add one plugin for each competition. Show matchtable and leaguetable for the groups and matchtable only for the finals.

Would be awesome to implement an object for a tournament to a have a wrapper for the way you described.
