Tournament check

[martj42]

The following tournaments need to be checked against Wikipedia and/or rsssf:

• African Cup of Nations qualification
• Caribbean Games
• Meredeka Cup
• CECAFA Championship
• Asian Cup qualification
• South East Asian Games
• Palestine Cup of Nations
• Beijing Friendship Tournament
• Indian Ocean Island Games
• South Asian Games
• Asian Games
• Copa Amilcar Cabral
• African Games
• African Games qualification
• Panamerican Games
• Matthews Cup
• South Pacific Mini Games
• CEDEAO Cup
• Copa Mercosur
• Dakar Tournament
• Pan Arab Games
• Black Stars Tournament
• Carlsberg Cup
• Shell Caribbean Cup
• Shell Caribbean Cup qualification
• Intercontinental Championship
• Jeux de la Francophonie
• Copa Ministerio de Vivienda
• Cup of Ancient Civilizations
• Afro-Asian Games
• Torneio Vale do Tejo
• LG Cup
• Tiger Cup
• TIFOCO
• Coupe de la CEMAC
• Bolivarian Games
• King's Cup
• COSAFA Cup
• Baltic Cup
• Arab Cup

Things to look out for:

• Add missing matches
• Correct tournament name if a match already exists as a friendly (many such cases)
• Make sure no B-teams or U-21 etc get through
• Matches between A-teams in a tournament with non-A-teams are acceptable
• Add a shootout if it exists
• Some of these tournaments might not be full A-tournaments at all; in that case, existing matches should be removed from the database; they might be listed as friendlies as well
• Any other tournament not in the above list can be checked as well; major tournaments are all correct as are ones between non-FIFA nations (though those haven't been checked for penalty shootouts)

Hi, In regards to rssf, how do I do that? do you have some procedures/tips?

Probably just google rsssf + the tournament name and see what comes up. It's a very badly organized website so there is no automated way of doing things. Will just have to comb through the results.
