Editing Repechage (section)

=== Quarter-final repechage ===
Quarter-final repechage pulls losers from the quarter-final round only.  The prior rounds are single-elimination.  Losers in the quarter-final from two pools (e.g., A and B) are entered into one bracket of the repechage first round. Quarter-final losers from the other two pools are entered into the other bracket. Repechage losers are placed in seventh place. Winners of these matches play against semi-final losers of opposite bracket. Losers are placed in fifth place and winners are awarded with bronze medal each. The [[Australian Football League]] (AFL) has a similar mechanism in the [[AFL final eight system]], whereby the top four teams at the end of the home-and-away season are given a second chance in a qualifying final, with the losers of each qualifying final given a second chance in a semi-final, while winners get a [[Bye (sports)|bye]] and compete in a preliminary final. Unlike in other sport variations, the loser from a qualifying final may win the [[List of VFL/AFL premiers|premiership]] should they win all three finals, including the [[AFL Grand Final|grand final]].
