Just as a matter of interest - why does it have to be the top two teams that progress to the finals?? Why not the top two teams from each pool... Then the top team from pool A plays the second team from Pool b and visa versa?? Wouldn't that encourage teams to keep playing even if they lost one game !

I guess that would be a much better situation for the major international once every 3 years tournament. But it would add an extra few days - instead of the grand final there would be the semis, and then the teams would need an extra 2 or 3 days off (at least) before the grand final. So the whole tournament becomes a bigger commitment for players in terms of time and costs. I assume that is the reasoning for the current setup. Hopefully in future years it can be extended. In terms of trying to get the crowds interested, a double-header semi final would be good.

It's a tuff call. Having played in the 2002 IC I can only agree with Dingo. We (Denmark) lost the very first game to PNG and knew the the GF was out of reach. We spent at least 2500 AUD going there and staying another 2-3 days will not cost more than 2-300 dollars - a farily small percentage of the total amount spent.
