: : Jeff,
: : There is an error in your logic:
: : : So now situation 2. : If take an average regional number of matche say 85,
: : : (Does anyone have all the regional Q-match numbers so we can make this right)
: : : Take the 85 and double it you get 170 then take the number of teams divided
: : : by 8 (220/8=27.5)
: : You need to divide by 4 (the number of teams in each match), not 8.
: : : And take (170/27.5) you get 6.1 Q-matches per team, which
: : : is different than the 4 we think we might actually get!
: : Correcting for the error above, the result is (approximately) 3, not 6.
: : - Jerry
: But is there because there will be 8 teams running 2 matches at a time, 1 per
: stage. I have only one question what is the 4 from, I am just wondering
: because I would think that you would have 8 not 4. Let me know!
You already adjusted for that by doubling the number of matches. Each
match will still have only 4 teams participating.
