This diagram sums up my idea for the tourny setup.
* Groups of 4 play each other twice, groups of 3 play each other 3 times.
* The winner of one group, plays the runner up of another.
* as you can see there are multiple teams of the same nationality in the same group, but only the highest ranking team can go through, even if they finish 1st and 2nd, guarenteeing theres not multiple teams of the same nationality after round 1.
As you can see ive included flags that currently arent present, and used the european flag to replace portugal as theres only 1 player!! obviously the nationalities taking part can change.
If anyone else with tourny setup ideas can make an image from it, we might actually come to a conclusion very quickly.
