Sorry, I made some typos.

First
Two strong teams

I can't correct the last one "congratulations XXX on..."

Well, I think you need a preposition after 'congratulations'.
What do you think it might be?
:-D

I think it can be found on http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/congratulation#congratulation__4

Not a teacher.

 

[Naeem Afzal]

Oh, it is definitely 'on', but where should I place 'XXX'?

 

[Matthew Wai]

Assuming XXX is someone, you can find the preposition used before 'someone' on http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/congratulation

Not a teacher.

I'm confused.

Should it be "Congratulations to XXX on winning the tournament"?

 

[Matthew Wai]

It may be simpler to say 'Congratulations on XXX's winning the tournament'.

Not a teacher.

Should it be "Congratulations to XXX on winning the tournament"?

:up:I think you've found a suitable preposition for it.

I'm afraid that I've found two more mistakes:

1. 'XXX knocked out' is not correct. It's not in the right 'voice'.
2. I don't like your 'And so on.' very much - I've never seen it used like that before.

I think I'll leave the rest for native speakers.

XXX was knocked out...

I won't write "And so on". I'll use their names and scores in place of it.
