If EQS doesn't show up, top two second-placers advance and playoffs are reseeded, I guess.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

What if the 128 teams that didn't qualify play a single-elimination tournament to determine who gets that spot?

World Cup Committee Constitution wrote:2.3.2 Hosting
i) Any nation that has previously participated in a World Cup, and participated in its most recently completed edition, may bid to host the World Cup, except if the user has co-hosted the previous World Cup.
ii) Two-host bids are the preferred format, though any number of hosts are acceptable.
iii) The WCC will be directed by the President to vote: a) for one of the offered bids, b) to officially abstain, or c) to re-open the process for new bids.
iv) Friendlies are not the responsibility of the hosts beyond basic organisation. Co-hosts may not include as part of their proposal any information on the organisation of friendlies, nor may they answer questions on friendly organisation. Co-hosts may choose to start a thread for friendly organisation, may choose to schedule slots in World Cup qualification for friendlies, and may limit the number of friendlies; but there is no presumption that co-hosts will scorinate any friendly matches, and nations holding friendlies should assume that they are responsible for arranging their own friendly scorination unless otherwise specified.[/blocktext]

I think the results speak for themselves and why I prefere NSFS, though both are flawed creations as I said a few days ago.
This is your WCQ on SQIS

Well, at least for Group 11, the results after using SQUIS look a lot closer to the pre-contest rankings: Not enough variation from "highest-ranked team wins" for your liking?

I am honestly a bit baffled that you're declaring victory here, ESF.
You've said on IRC regularly that too many top-20 nations were missing out on the Finals in the SQIS sim. I count one: Vilita, who (with no disrespect to one of the greatest nations in the history of this game) only started roleplaying after Matchday 10 when it became clear KPB-coasting to qualification was possibly not going to work.
