Editing European Cup format

Hallo guys,

is somewhere documented how to modify a Sws.exe file in order to change the format of the european cup (in Career mode)? I would like to extend the European Cup to 32 partecipants, but could not find the way.
I could manage to find a way to create the following formats:

- no initial groups, just knockout from the beginning
- no quarter finals, 2 groups of 4 teams instead

Some details:
European Cup starts at about address 0x14C166 (the byte is 0x1, it means "seeded") of the exe.
Then at some point there is a number of stages (address 0x14C16B, default value=4) and, for each stage, three bytes: 1) Number of groups (0 = knockout); 2) Number of teams per group; 3) number of qualified to next stage. Later there is one byte for each eventual knockout stage (0x14 = single match; 0x94 = 2 Legs). The original hex string should be like this (observe: 4 groups of 4, 8 qualify; knockout with 8 teams, 4 qualify, etc.):

04 04 08 00 08 04 00 04 02 00 02 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 94 94 14

Unfortunately I could not manage to extend the European Cup to 32 teams. According to a really old post in another forum (www.freeforumzone.com/d/1965657/Champion...ra-/discussione.aspx) somebody managed to get it with the European Cup as Preset Competition. Maybe is also possible in the Career mode?

All of this we can change in the future when we're at that stage of development.
No more limitations.
