I don't like how about 10 teams haven't got any hope of making the finals after round 1.
Yes they do, they just need to use the "intentional handicap" rule and field less then 100 points.

No they don't.
They'll have to fight a team with the exact same predicament.
Hence both teams are forced to go max handicap, cancelling each other out.
Unless one of the teams can BOTH not interpret the rules correctly AND still sucks enough to get wiped by a handicapped team, there is still no hope to make the finals.
I can however see how sucking too much in round one should be penalized even in Paper/Scissor/Rock games since it forces people to bring less specialized and higher DPS teams, and do something against spies.
Given a choice between 64 teams and the current qualifiers, and 48 teams and the old qualifiers, I'd probably chose the current system.
Yes they do. If both teams field 50 points, that means that the team winning and wiping the other team out completely will score 50 (for killing ships) + 50 (for opponent points not fielded) + 50 (handicap) = 150 and then +25% on top of that for a total of 187.5 points (although it could possibly be only 165 points depending on if the 25% win bonus is applied to the handicap points or not), which means that they'll beat a team that won their first match and scored either 40/52 (depending on the rule interpretation above) or less points in their second match. Even 1 single handicap point is enough to out rank a team that won its first round but got killed without scoring any points in the second round.

Moreover, I'm not following how it is any different from any other system that we could use.
Easy solution, just don't publicise which draw system you plan to use.
I can already hear people crying about CCP favoring certain alliances and matching them against easier opponents.
And yeah, turns out Tyrrax is right, but there's still a chance. You could field 50 points, while the opponent could still be dumb and field 100 points, and you could still beat those odds and win the match and advance. It's a minimal chance, but it's there.

You are wrong.
That's already been established. Point still stands though, as seen today many teams still field the full points, and some don't even show up. It's possible, but an extreme long shot, as it should be for people who failed badly enough to kill nothing.
