I'm quite sure that the next round's pool placements are not random. They are based on where you finished in Pool A, B, or C. As I recall, the winner of the group was always paired with either the 3rd or 4th place team from their pool, with the second place team being paired with the remaining team from their pool. Then 3 pairs from each of the original 3 pools, form a new pool so that each of the new pools will have 3 teams that finished in the top 2 from their previous pool, and have at least one team that finished first in their previous pool. I hope this makes some sense.

We've now move up in rankings!!

Congratulations to us and great managing Rip! We're now ranked 8th in the world and were previously ranked 9th. That's a pretty good step at this level. Congratulations that we've passed Israel. Cheers!

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me

Thanks for the detailed response...

So it's like Astonmidhurst said or are the groups made by hand?


They've been made by hand in the past, but the process is in the, er, process of being automated in the future.

I think I was confusing.

When I meant "by hand", I mean it wasn't an automated process.

I'm not sure how it was determined.

I believe there was an objective team placement based on the group standings.
