In the Group stage, each team in a group plays against every other team in that group. A win earns the winning team 3 points, while a draw gives 1 point to each team. The losing team gets no points. The top two teams from each group advance to the Quarter Finals. In each group, all teams finished with different point totals, so there were no ties in the final group standings.
The position of the teams at the end of the Group stage is as given below:

Official Solution:
Question 1: How many of the top 8 teams in the initial standings advanced to the Quarter Finals?
We know that the teams in the Quarter Finals are the top two teams from each group.
These teams are: Team 14, Team 13, Team 7, Team 9, Team 5, Team 12, Team 16, Team 11.
The top 8 teams based on the initial standings are: Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, Team 4, Team 5, Team 6, Team 7, Team 8.
The teams common to both lists are: Team 5 and Team 7. So, only 2 of the top 8 teams reached the Quarter Finals.
Thus, this question can be answered.
Question 2: Which team won the tournament?
Since there were no upsets in the knockout stage, the team with the better initial standing always won.
Following the bracket and applying this rule:
Quarter-finals:
– Match A: Team 14 (Winner of Group 1) vs Team 12 (Runner-up of Group 2) → Team 12 wins (Team 12 has better initial standing)
– Match B: Team 5 (Runner-up of Group 1) vs Team 13 (Winner of Group 2) → Team 5 wins
– Match C: Team 7 (Winner of Group 3) vs Team 11 (Runner-up of Group 4) → Team 7 wins
– Match D: Team 16 (Runner-up of Group 3) vs Team 9 (Winner of Group 4) → Team 9 wins
Semi-finals:
– SF1: Team 12 vs Team 9 → Team 9 wins
– SF2: Team 5 vs Team 7 → Team 5 wins
Final:
– Final: Team 5 vs Team 9 → Team 5 wins (as Team 5 had a better initial standing)
Therefore, Team 5 won the tournament.
Thus, this question can be answered.
Question 3: Did Team 5 remain unbeaten throughout the tournament?
We know that Team 5 won the tournament and that there were no upsets in the knockout stage, meaning Team 5 won all of its knockout matches.
However, we do not have the results of individual group-stage matches. It's possible that Team 5 could have drawn or even lost a match in the group stage and still advanced as one of the top two teams in its group.
Therefore, we cannot determine whether Team 5 remained unbeaten throughout the tournament.
Thus, this question cannot be answered.
Correct answer:
How many of the top 8 teams in the initial standings advanced to the Quarter Finals? "Yes"
Which team won the tournament? "Yes"
Did Team 5 remain unbeaten throughout the tournament? "No"

Official Solution:
Statement 1: Team 12 got less points in the Group stage than Team 14.
The only information we are given is the final positions of teams within their own groups and that all teams in each group finished with different point totals. This tells us the ranking order within each group but not the actual number of points earned.
Team 12 was the runner-up in Group 2, and Team 14 was the winner of Group 1. While it's likely that a group winner had more points than a runner-up, it is not guaranteed — the point totals are not comparable across groups without knowing the actual match results.
It is possible for a runner-up in one group to have more points than the winner of another group.
Example: Team 14 wins Group 1 with 6 points, and Team 12 finishes second in Group 2 with 6. This is valid and respects all constraints.
Group 1 (Teams: 14, 5, 10, 6):
Team 14 beats Team 10 and Team 6, loses to Team 5 → 6 points
Team 5 beats Team 14, draws with Team 10 and Team 6 → 5 points
Team 10 loses to Team 14, draws with Team 5, beats Team 6 → 4 points
Team 6 loses to Team 14 and Team 10, draws with Team 5 → 1 point
Group 2 (Teams: 13, 12, 8, 2):
Team 13 beats all → 9 points
Team 12 beats Team 8 and Team 2, loses to Team 13 → 6 points
Team 8 beats Team 2 only → 3 points
Team 2 loses all → 0 points
All teams have different point totals within their groups. Team 14 wins Group 1 with 6 points. Team 12 finishes second in Group 2 with 6 points.
Therefore, we cannot conclude that Team 12 got fewer points than Team 14. The answer is No.
Statement 2: Team 13 won at least one match during the Group stage.
Team 13 finished first in Group 2. If Team 13 had not won any matches, the maximum it could have earned is 3 points (from 3 draws).
But since all teams in the group had different point totals, the remaining teams would need to have 2, 1, and 0 points respectively — which is not possible within 3 matches per team.
Therefore, Team 13 must have won at least one match in the Group stage.
Statement 3: Team 4 lost all of its matches in the Group stage.
Team 4 finished last in its group, but that does not necessarily mean it lost all of its matches. A team can place fourth with 1 or even 2 points from draws if the other teams earned more and all teams had different point totals.
For example, Team 4 could have drawn one match and lost two, ending with 1 point, while the others had 6, 4, and 3 points respectively — all different.
Therefore, it is not certain that Team 4 lost all its matches.
Correct answer:
Team 12 got fewer points in the Group stage than Team 14. "No"
Team 13 won at least one match during the Group stage. "Yes"
Team 4 lost all of its matches in the Group stage. "No"
