    I also agree that 2 of 3 is shit but a lot less shit than 2 of 4 plus half the 3rd place teams or whatever.

    It's the same level of shit for me.

    And the two highest ranked/seeded teams absolutely have to play each other first.

    On second thought, having 1 team sit out per matchday is kinda shit.

    Would they do 2 matches or 4 matches? I can't imagine they can fit 4 matches per team for 64 teams so it's going to be 2 matches, which is horrendous. Might as well just do a single elimination bracket

    It's 48 teams, but surely it's 2 matches per team?

    It's two matches each. It's worse.

    This is pretty fun, if a bit pointless.

    If they have to have 48, then 12x4 is the only way to do it.

    8 groups of 6 teams, with 4 teams going through. Sure it will take about 3 months with a total of about 150 games, but if you go wild you might as well go all in.

    There's a reason why these things should always be powers of 2

    With two qualifying from each group? What do you with the 24 then?

    And the eight best thirds.

    I'd rather that mess than multiple teams playing out 0-0 draws in the last of three games.

    Yeah, fair enough, that does sound better than groups of three.

    Hasn’t it been decided already that it’s going to be 16x3?

    Edit. Didn’t see the previous page
