Goal: To simulate the running of a soccer tournament e.g the world cup. A typical soccer tournament starts with a group stage with each team playing each other, then moves on into elimination rounds until a winner is decided upon. The project should have a minimum of 4 groups (A - D) which will feature: in group play, a semifinal round and a finals. Each group should have 3 teams, play each other once, and each team has a 22 player roster. The application should contain a Menu which allows for the following options a) Creating of teams & groups b) Generates a Fixture/Schedule with Dates,Times and location of matches c) Entering and keeping track of match results (Standings)
