At the Qualifying Finals, team 1 won and so went straight through to the Preliminary Finals. Team 4 also went through to the Preliminary Finals, because they won while teams 2 and 3 lost. However, teams 2 and 3 were not eliminated, but played again in the Semi Finals, because two teams ranking lower than them on the ladder also lost. Those two losing teams ranking lower than them, teams 5 and 8, were eliminated.

Famous quotes containing the word example:
“Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
