Take the grouping of 24 people as an example:
The first round: 24 people play. After the end, 12 people entered the winning group and 12 people entered the losing group.
The second round: 12 people in the winning group played against each other, 6 people stayed in the winning group and 6 people entered the losing group.
The third round: the winning group players have a rest.
At the same time, the first-round losing group 12 people+the second-round losing group's 6 people * * * 18 people were regrouped, and the player who won the most times was directly designated as the semi-final qualified player of the losing group. If the number of games won is the same, the player who wins the goal difference is a qualified player (the player who scores more points in snooker), and the remaining 16 players are divided into 8 groups.
The fourth round (1/4 final): 6 winners+2 losers ***8. The draw is divided into four groups, and the winner of each group enters the semi-finals.
Fifth round (semi-final): Four winners draw lots and divide into two groups for semi-final. Two winners enter the finals, and two losers enter the competition for three or four places.
In the sixth round (third runner-up), the two unsuccessful players decided the third runner-up and the third runner-up
In the seventh round (championship), two champions competed for the championship.
The lose-lose knockout is relatively fair, but the competition system will drag on for a long time, which will help you earn a lot of Taiwan fees, hehe.
