Basketball API - Multigroup Stage

The plugin cannot independently determine the correct structure for a tournament with a group stage consisting of multiple groups.

In such cases, creating all the groups and adding the teams yourself MANUALLY is necessary!!

1. Determine the structure of the tournament

Let's start with the "Africa Champions Cup"

Click on Wikipedia Search (2) to find out the structure.

Find the proper article and check the tournament structure.

When group stage has more than one group, you should create all them manually with teams.

Use Wikipedia as a reference. Some API team names can differ a bit from wiki names.

Then create a Knockout Stage with rounds (without teams) and Save.
