With the group stages now finished, it’s time to move onto the Playoffs! Information regarding tiebreakers and teams advancing into the playoffs can be found below! You can find your upcoming Playoff fixtures under the Playoffs tab or your team page.
If you find yourself on the list of these teams you are expected to be available. If you fail to provide information, or it is insufficient, we will have to decide your match dates for you. Keep in mind that we will try and accommodate both teams, but the match date may still vary from your provided days if for example none of the days matches with your opponent’s, but your opponent offered more days than you did. Deadlines listed for the matches are flexible and may be changed in certain situations if admins are contacted about allowing extensions on these.
