[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1151659, member: 73592"] 6 pools of 4 just never works for me - 4 pools of 6 if you need an extra 4 teams in there (great for the lesser lights, but adds another 4-8 walk-overs). We're already at 4 pools of 5, so 4 pools of 6 is no real difference in terms of duration of competition, and is better than 4x5 in not requiring any byes - which never works out fairly. What I'd heard though, is that they're looking seriously at the absolute mess that has been recent years of the ERC and Prem Cup pool stages and want to do that, for some bizarre reason that can only increase confusion and lose interest.
