[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugger, post: 965210, member: 12699"] Here you go friend: 24 team WC with 4 groups of 6 is easy to do. I've attached a photo of a hypothetical scenario: [URL='https://ibb.co/5Kvv24g'][IMG]https://i.ibb.co/9Z22Ggk/24tmWC.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The Table was built based on World Rankings just prior to the RWC. Teams are put in to 6 tranches of four and then distributed evenly across the groups. This creates the most equitable spread of teams based on form and ranking. Teams would play three games each in their group with the top 2 teams automatically qualifying for the Rd of 16 and the 4 other teams with the best records (points diff being the tie breaker) making the round of 16. The teams I placed in the Knock out rounds are merely there as a hypothetical situation. In reality, a lot of teams could potentially qualify for the knock out stage and there is potential for a lot of upsets to happen. You also wouldn't ever run in to a scenario of a team like Japan going 3-1 and not qualifying for the knock out stage, which is stupid IMO. [/QUOTE]
