: 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!
