Barring incidents like eyu100 suggests (which, BTW, have yet to happen--after about the second red card, most teams would be seriously thinking about switching out whoever was responsible, if they hadn't already done so), the above holds.

However, winner != undefeated. Every team that won that isn't on the list is proof that that last statement is true.

Also note that, while I won't tell you this officially or at an event, by competing in the competition, even if you don't win anything, you win just as much as by winning the event. Remember, I won't tell you this. I prefer to let you find out for yourself.

Technically, a team could go undefeated in qualifications and not make eliminations. Winning every match 1-0 would result in seeding very low.
