  1. Hi,
    can you explain a bit this simulation?

    Thanks

    1. This is the probability that a team will be either in pot 1 (seeded) or pot 2 (unseeded). From the 8 teams taking part in the play-offs, 4 of them are in pot 1 and 4 in pot 2 (depending on their FIFA-ranking by the time of the drawing)

    2. Thanks Daniel. Just curious, are you from the AIT?

    3. No, I'm not very academic :) You should definitely update your LinkedIn profile (if that's the correct profile).
