4 groups in one group 5/6 teams
2 best teams from one group go on then K.O system
1/4 , 1/2 and final (and match for 3rd place)
in this system is more fun for all and no problem with organize it , now is problem because needs 2 teams.
besides all the teams will play more than one match.
Nope, your pool system will make a +100 match tournament.
Of course we already thought that with bigger pool (7 teams) who increase the match number (and keep the 4 best in each pool to get 8 teams and play 1/4 etc...) but the match number stay around 160 so you understand that we can't.
Also, if any teams will register the tournament will stay to direct elimination mode and will have a basic tournament tree, but 1 or 2 teams will not start 1/16. Of course this will be random.
We thought about double-eliminations too but it's as unfair as above, more hard to understand for all teams and harder to organise.
Btw: as the rules said it, all double/triple teams (per country) will have to fight against (France A against France B etc) to know what team will represent his country. (that's why the we get 14 teams and why we need 2 more teams)
For the Brasil case, a little tournament will be organised to know what team will represent the Brasil country (Bresil A will fight against Brasil B and Brasil C etc...), a short point system will be organise to this little tournament.
Good luck to every country and have fun.
