Why is the America's Cup held in such a mess?
The America's Cup is a strange event. The first session 1 1 is held once a year (except that the second and third sessions are separated by two years). 1928, the 12th America's Cup was postponed to 1929 due to Uruguay's participation in the Olympic Games. Later, due to the war between Paraguay and Bolivia over the Grand Chago region, the Copa America was suspended for five times, and the game was not resumed until 1935.
Since then, the time for the Copa America has not been determined. Starting from 1987, the America's Cup is gradually on the right track and held every two years. 200 1 year changed to once every three years. It has been held every four years since 2007. 1959 and 1 year, the Copa America was held twice, and the champions were Argentina and Uruguay. From 1967 to 1975, the Copa America has never been held once.
America's Cup Championship System:
12 team is divided into three groups (group a, group b and group c), with 4 teams in each group, adopting the single round robin system, winning 3 points, drawing 1 point and losing 0 points. The teams in the group will be ranked according to the following criteria: total score in the group match, total goal difference in the group match and total goals in the group match. If the above data of any team are exactly the same, they will be ranked according to the following method: the results of each team in the group stage will be decided by the Preparatory Committee, and the top two teams in each group and the third team with the best results will advance to the quarter-finals.
The calculation method of the two best third-place teams is the same as the above group ranking standard. From the quarter-finals to the finals, the winner is decided in 90 minutes, and 12 yards does not need to add 30 minutes to shoot the opponent. 20 1 1, the quarter-finals to the finals will be decided in a tie, and the legal time is 90 minutes, which requires an extra 30 minutes. The draw will be decided by penalty.
