    Aaaargh. I'm sorry DP89, seems like there's a misunderstanding there; my fault once again, with all these weird explanations from me everywhere.

    It's like the TENNIS US OPEN atm, I mean if you're winning Gsuperpilot, you'll meet the winner of Redscar/Fyue3, and so on 'til one single name will remain from your board (so that we'll have 4 quarter finals with all the boards completed). Hope this time I managed to be clear gah, DP89 & you all guys, sorry for these shameful misunderstandings; this cup could be renamed as "the wipeout cup of death"

    Now imagine that repeated three more times below that and it's what we have here. From the top quarter, Spain would be goddess and Holland would be Colonel_G. Spain/goddess would win that quarter and go on to face the winner of the second quarter of the table. The same would happen between the third and fourth quarters of the table. Then the winner of each half is in the ultimate final.
    Saturn explained the cup following pretty well there, it's exactly like the final FIFA board after preliminary round, with 64 pilots instead of 16 teams.

    On a side note, sure, would have been awesome to organize a preliminary round like the FIFA world cup, but I think it would have required way too much implication for everyone; Wipeout is not Call of Duty, so I wanted to stay on a short format, knock-out rounds like tennis, so that we could maybe do that again very soon, with maybe 128 pilots this time
