: Since their are going to be 2 stages, that means 8 teams can go at one. Meaning:
: 220 teams Divided by 8 teams going at once(27.5)Then times that number by the 6 qualifying matches for each team and you get 165 qualifying matches. But that is if i did my math correctly and I might not of!
Your arithmetic is correct, but the logic is wrong: there are only four
teams in each match, not eight. This means your result has to be
multiplied by two, yielding 330 -- the same number P.J. came up with.
