thanks for the info
in that case, it should not be called quarter-finals but 2nd round…it was quite misleading
Yes, I agree. When I first started covering school sports, I kept wondering why they called it the quarter-finals when in fact it is the second round.
There are no traditional quarter-final knockout games in any of the schools’ team sport championships.
We are just following the terms used by the schools system.
Is the quarter-finals a knock-out system?
Hi JinTeck: All the teams will be put into two groups and the top two of each group will make the semi-finals which will be a knockout, single-game format. Hope that helps explain.
