Forum:Format & Group Draw

Before the group draw is made, I want to sort out the format. In the International League Championship, it was 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw with no judges' decisions. I think we should have a similar format except it's 3 points for any win including by judges' decision, but a robot that loses a judges' decision still gets 1 point. Obviously if they lose by knockout they get nothing. What do you think?

Also, I want to lay out the format for the different rounds of the tournament before the draw is made so that we don't influence the draw in any way, like they do in the real World Cup. Here's the format I'm going for:

Quarter Finals
 * Winner Group A vs Runner-up Group B
 * Winner Group B vs Runner-up Group A
 * Winner Group C vs Runner-up Group D
 * Winner Group D vs Runner-up Group C

Semi-Finals
 * Winner QF1 vs Winner QF3
 * Winner QF2 vs Winner QF4

Playoff
 * Runner-up SF1 vs Runner-up SF2

Grand Final
 * Winner SF1 vs Winner SF2

The draw for the Group Stages will be made very shortly. Christophee (talk) 00:33, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
