FIFA worldcup - Format of each final tournament

Format of each final tournament[edit]

The number of teams and the format of each final tournament have varied considerably over the years. In most tournaments, the tournament consists of a round-robin group stage followed by a single-elimination knockout stage.[17]
  • 1930: A group stage, followed by a knockout stage with 4 teams (group winners; note that no third-place match was played)
  • 1934–1938: Single-elimination tournament; these are the only tournaments without a group stage
  • 1950: A first group stage, followed by a final group stage with 4 teams (group winners); this is the only tournament without an official final match
  • 1954–1970: A group stage, followed by a knockout stage with 8 teams (group winners and runners-up)
  • 1974–1978: A first group stage, followed by a second group stage with 8 teams (first round group winners and runners-up), followed by the final (second round group winners; second round group runners-up played in the third-place match)
  • 1982: A first group stage, followed by a second group stage with 12 teams (first round group winners and runners-up), followed by a knockout stage with 4 teams (second round group winners)
  • 1986–1994: A group stage, followed by a knockout stage with 16 teams (group winners, runners-up and the four best third-placed teams)
  • 1998–present: A group stage, followed by a knockout stage with 16 teams (group winners and runners-up)

History of Tamil cuisine(Regional Cuisine & Meals - Restaurant)

Regional Cuisine   [ edit ] Over a period of time, each geographical area where Tamils have lived has developed its own distinct variant of the common dishes in addition to dishes native to itself. The four divisions of ancient Tamilakam  are the primary means of dividing Tamil cuisine. The  Chettinad  region comprising  Karaikudi  and adjoining areas is known for both traditional vegetarian dishes like  idiyappam ,  uthappam ,  paal paniyaram  and non-vegetarian dishes made primarily using  chicken .  Chettinad cuisine  has gained popularity in non-Tamil speaking areas as well. [ citation needed ] Madurai ,  Tirunelveli  and the other southern  districts of Tamil Nadu  are known for non-vegetarian food made of  mutton , chicken and  fish .  Parota  made with  maida  or all-purpose flour, and loosely similar to the north Indian wheat flour-based  Paratha , is served at food outlets in Tamil Nadu, especially in districts like  Madurai ,  Virudhunagar ,  Tuticorin ,  Tirunelveli
