[QUOTE="Brigantine, post: 844279, member: 73940"] Wouldn't it make better sense to have this new tournament as part of qualification for the RWC, rather than the other way around? So just take the current repechage tournament of 4 teams with 1 winner, and expand it to e.g. 4 groups of 4 with 2 qualifiers from each group. Every team qualifies for the RWC either automatically (by placing in the top 3 last time), or through repechage. I'm guessing it would be a year or two before the RWC, probably in November. The 4 group winners do a semi and final, and the winner gets a bronze cup. Naturally they try to upgrade it the following year. There wouldn't be any need to have repechage qualifying for the repechage tournament, you just take the 16 highest ELO ranked teams that aren't automatically qualified. (or 10 highest + next highest from each continent) [/QUOTE]
