heywoodu 13,540 Posted August 12, 2019 #24 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Wait, this is one of those phony tournaments were there's a difference between the groups in terms of what one needs to do in terms of qualifying and such?

They almost beat one of the more historic and more skilled teams in their pool. It’s a good win for the Dutch boys. I’d say the Dutch might have a small to decent chance at winning the President’s Cup (12th-18th Place Rankings) “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Yes. Pool A and Pool B are the top tier teams. Pool C and Pool D is everyone else. All 8 top tier teams advance to at least the round of 12. The top 4 (2 from each pool) Pool C and D teams advance to the round of 12. The losers go to the President’s Cup. At the round of 12 we begin the double elimination part of the tournament. Once there are 4 teams to remaining we go to single elimination for Semifinals. Every team will play a final placement match. heywoodu 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Any tournament winner has to survive pool play, survive double elimination, and win their semifinal and final matches. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
