Preliminary round

Like the previous two years, sixteen nations played in four groups of four. However this year the format was modified so that the top three teams from each group would advance to a group of six, carrying forward the results against the teams who advanced with them. The nations from the first and fourth pools were grouped together, likewise the second and third pools. The fourth placed teams were put in a group together to contest relegation.

    gollark: > @Emankcin Driew let's see if that argument holds in a court of lawIt won't, because the law says that patents are a thing.
    gollark: The tax should probably go up over time on each patent.
    gollark: Maybe make it so you get taxed some % of a patent's value each year. You might say "hmm but how do we calculate value". Simple! Make it so that you *specify* the value, and anyone who is willing to pay that much can buy it off you/pay for it to enter the public domain for that much.
    gollark: > wouldnt that deter using patents?that is the point.
    gollark: Or you could just have a tax of some kind on patents.
