because during the first part of the cup there is no need to have a winner since the pass to second round is decided by points.\nnext round there has to be only a winner per game then you may see penaltys

it differs from cup to cup, as does the world's country count.  There is no set amount of slots to participate.  any country may participate and the elimination rounds just keep paring them down like any play-off series.

You don't have to ask a certain number of questions, that's how you lose points. You have to answer a certain amount of questions to get to the next level. It's so people are couraged to help others out.

No, you don't win a prize, but you do get some education.  There are really some great questions put on here and some equally interesting answers.  I like to go into the different questions and answer them.  It really does kill a lot of time, and it is entertaining.

Some people rush through their answers in order to rack up the points. I personally like to answer questions to the best of my ability. If I want to horse around I sometimes ask a funny and weird question.

This has nothing to do with FIFA WC or football in general. The correct category would yield better results for you.

Regional Qualifiers are held before hand... kinda like the Playoffs before the Super Bowl of American Football.  The Olympics is another good example\n\nQualification\nMain article: FIFA World Cup qualification \nSince the second World Cup in 1934, qualifying tournaments have been held to thin the field for the final tournament. They are held within the six FIFA continental zones (Africa, Asia, North and Central America and Caribbean, South America, Oceania, Europe), overseen by their respective confederations. For each tournament, FIFA decides the number of places awarded to each of the continental zones beforehand, generally based on the relative strength of the confederations' teams, but also subject to lobbying from the confederations.\n\nThe qualification process can start as early as almost three years before the final tournament, and last over a two-year period. The formats of the qualification tournaments differ between confederations. Usually, one or two places are awarded to winners of Intercontinental Play-offs. For example, the winner of the Oceanian zone and the fifth-placed team from the South American zone entered a play-off to decide which team would qualify for the 2006 World Cup [11]. From the 1938 World Cup onwards, host nations have received an automatic berth in the finals. This right also used to be granted to the defending champion, but from the 2006 finals onwards, this entitlement has been withdrawn, requiring the champions to qualify as well [12].

It depends! Sometimes you find that people who already know what the answer is don't feel they can cope with the answer! So they ask to make sure that indeed there is a solution to their problem and to have their answer confirmed as 'the' answer to their question means they feel reassured that they're doing the right thing. Other people ask what other people would qualify as a silly question and it maybe to some if it isn't to them! Then again ... You have people asking questions for no other purpose but to get others react quickly! You know controversial questions!

I'm afraid a lot of people just want to answer silly questions with a single word answer (yes or no) - They get their buz from getting loads of points not from helping people! Sorry rant over!!
