three players in Block C, and vice versa. Time limits for day 1 will be 3.5 hours.

The order of play for the day will be;

Round 2 A1 vs D3 A3 vs D1 A2 vs D2 C1 vs B3 C3 vs B1 C2 vs B2
Round 3 A1 vs D1 A2 vs D3 A3 vs D2 C1 vs B1 C2 vs B3 C3 vs B2
Block results will be determined by the following criteria:
1. Total Wins
2. Net Hoops
The top two players from each of the four blocks (A, B, C, D) will qualify for the
knock-out (KO) stage on Day 2. The KO stage will consist of a single-game in each
round. The remaining four players will compete in a separate 4-player block as part
of the Plate event.
Day 2: Knockout
The seeding for Day 2 will be determined by block position in the above format
Game 1: A1 v A2
Game 2: D1 v D2
Game 3: C1 v C2
Game 4: B1 v B2
Winners then play winners for the remainder of the event. Depending who is in the
KO and their transport requirements for Sunday will determine if time limits are
applied or not for the KO games.

block play in round 2, with the following format applied.
