Semi final/final system of Beijing

[Dutch Alex]

Okee, especially for Mikka:
If you find this system odd, what do you think about Euro2008?
There are 4 groups, numbers 1 and 2 go to quarter final:
A1 vs B2 (Q1), B1 vs A2 (Q2), C1 vs D2 (Q3) and D1 vs C2 (Q4). Just as normal as ever... Semi-finals: winner Q1 vs winner Q2 (S1) and winner Q3 vs winner Q4 (S2). Now this is odd, 'cause you'll face a team from pool C or D, as a team from A or B-pool only in the final!

The Irishmobster wrote it, it's the way of the IOC. I don't agree with him completely: In my opinion it's the way of ISF...
But that can be considdered as the same!

Mikka, if you want to see some more softball: the European Championships Men FP will be held in Copenhagen (28Jul. - 2 Aug).
