RPHL 2020 World Cup of Hockey Tournament

The RPHL 2020 World Cup of Hockey Tournament (also frequently known simply as the "RPHL WCH" for short, and previously known as the RPHL World Cup of Hockey S1 Tournament but changed for clarity reasons) was a RPHL 12-team tournament that lasted for about a month. It began on -, and ended with the Golden Medal Game being played on -.

Structure and Format
There was a period of several days where teams could be formed by one individual, and submitted with their rosters (rosters allowed for a maximum of 6 total players and a minimum of 5 total players), and country to league Commissioner and tournament organizer ThatGuyNamedZombie. Several countries weren't allowed and were deemed as "trolls", including Team Nigeria, Team Niger, etc. These teams were subsequently seeded based on their roster skill level, with seeds changing often until all 12 teams were finalized. If a group of players with a higher skill level wanted a country that was already taken by a team with a lower skill level, the higher skilled team had priority over the country, and the lower skilled team had to switch countries.

The organizer of a team was referred to as the Captain and the Captain was in charge of their team. The Captain had to appoint another player on their team to Alternate Captain (only one position), but this position was powerless, and more or less just for show.

All teams were given a seed from 1 through 12, with the higher seed equaling a better rated team. The following seeds were then paired against each other for Round 1 of the tournament:


 * Seeds 1-4: Given a bye to Round 2 (Seed 1 would play the winner of Seed 8 v Seed 9, Seed 2 would play the winner of Seed 7 v Seed 10, Seed 3 would play the winner of Seed 6 v Seed 11, and Seed 4 would play the winner of Seed 5 v Seed 12)
 * Seed 5 v Seed 12
 * Seed 6 v Seed 11
 * Seed 7 v Seed 10
 * Seed 8 v Seed 9

Round 1 was a best of 3 game series, Round 2 was a best of 5 game series, and Round 3 (Semi-Finals) was a best of 5 game series. The Golden Medal Game and the Bronze Medal Match were both just 1 game apiece, hence the names.

All games took place at the RPHL International Ice Center and had referees (manual style of play; non-coded).

Uniforms
All of the uniforms for this tournament were designed by league staff member Kyros64. He was highly praised for his work, because of the giant task of designing 24 different uniforms on his own (12 home and 12 away), the quality of the uniforms, and his timeliness in designing the uniforms. All uniforms are on the RPHL store for purchase.
