Tournament

A Tournament works similar to Pick Up. The differences are that you just can choose players for your team and can't pick profi players. After selection a overview with the different matches will be shown. The computer controlled teams will always be made of <> and street characters from the chosen location and never custom ones. The goal is to survive the tournament and beat all rival teams.
