What determines which teams proceed after qualifications in a tournament?

The selection of teams that proceed after qualification in a tournament is primarily based on the total points scored in qualification matches. In many competitive formats, teams accumulate points based on their performance in these matches, which can include factors such as wins, scores, and sometimes additional awards or bonuses. The teams with the highest point totals at the conclusion of the qualification matches are typically the ones that advance to the elimination rounds.

Other methods, such as random selection or alliances, do not generally determine advancement after qualifications in a structured way. The number of matches played may affect the point totals, but it is ultimately the points themselves that dictate which teams qualify for the next stage of the competition. Teams are evaluated on their performance and ability to score, making the point system a fair and competitive measure for advancement.
