New tournament for Crews!
Without training camps!

Crew Born in the USSR proudly presents you a new crew tournament called – Goodwill Games from USSR.

This year we present you the 1st Edition!

The tournament will feature 12 crews which will be divided into 3 groups according to the draw. Each crew will play 3 rounds in the group stage. The group stage will be followed by the semi-finals and the grand finale.

The teams that are going to advance to the semi-finals stage are the 3 group winners
(if 2 crews will have the same number of points then we will look the result of a personal crew battle, than the score difference, the team with the better score difference will get a higher place / if  3 crews will have the same number of points then we will look at the score difference, the team with the better score difference will get a higher place).
The 4th semi-finalist crew will be the crew that will get the best 2nd place among all 3 groups *(firstly we will look at the points that crews which got 2nd places in their groups took, in case of equal number of points we will look at the score difference).

In the semi-finals the draw will be like this:
The crew that is the best among all 3 group winners based on points taken during the group stage (in case of equal number of points we will consider score difference as a defining factor) will play a semi-final with the crew that was 2nd best placed crew among all 3 groups. The 2nd semi-final in this case will be played among 2nd best among 3 group winners and the remaining 3rd group winner. **BUT** if the best group winner crew and the 2nd best placed crew will be from the same group then the draw will be different, in this case 2nd best group winner crew will play with the 2nd best placed crew and the other semi-final will be played between the best group winner crew and the 3rd group winner crew.
