    How do they work? Outside of the first one, which is being one of the top 3 of your group, I have no clue. Is the second round single elimination?

    I believe that it is the top 4 teams in each round that make the quarter finals. Then it is single elimination after that

    How the Olympic Tournament Works
    Preliminary Round, 12 Teams - August 10-18
    Format: Each team plays every team in their group once. The top four finishers in each group advance to the Quarter Final Round.
    Quarter Finals Round, 8 Teams - August 20
    Format: Eight teams are seeded based on preliminary round finishes. Single elimination matchups take place between A1-B4, B1-A4, A2-B3 and B2-A3.
    Semi-Finals Round, 4 Teams - August 22
    Format: Winner of A1-B4 faces winner of B2-A3; winner of A2-B3 faces winner of B1-A4. The two victorious squads advance to Gold Medal game.
    Finals Round, 4 Teams - August 24
    Format: Two winners in Semi-Finals round compete for the Gold Medal, while the two losers compete in the Bronze Medal game.

    Holy crap. So it's possible that Arg's 6th game could be against the US. , I think they'll need more time to gell(and change the lineup so Manu is PG and Delfino is SG).

    But exactly what I said is true. The 4 best teams in each group advance, then it is single elimination.

    it is your option that it makes you look petty

    if the waiter sucks he does not deserve a tip because he did not earn the tip

    it is not right to give something for a deed nto done

    unless the guess just wants to give a serve a GIFT

    some posters feel it is ok if the service sucked and leaving a quarter is better then nothing
    As long as we are making corrections on people's posts, I believe that you meant OPINION, not option.
