Is the concept of having preset rounds for the qualifier finalised? I think normally drawn rounds would be better and fairer, although a relatively minor detail wouldn't keep me from attending.
Regarding the numbers, will you presumably do one of each plus a second one large?

It's natural that the knockout games have fewer goals as teams who know how to defend are successful teams.

If I remember rightly, the results showed that the 'manual separation' is not really so prominent with the consonants (see round 8 here for instance) as it is with the vowels though.
