Draw Information
To view the draw, under Draws & Results select Online Draw/Results.
The tournament is played as a modified Olympic draw.
In A and B grades, teams are placed into one of 8 sections of 4 teams (Sections A - H) based on their seeding from previous year's finishing position. All teams play each other in their respective sections.
At the end of Round 1 teams move into a second section - Round 2.
The 'top half' (sections Z - W) are made up of teams placing first or second in their Round 1 section.
The 'bottom half' (sections S - V) are teams placing third or fourth in their Round 1 section.
Again, teams all play each other.
Teams who finish TOP of their Round 2 sections progress to semi-finals to play off for places 1 to 4; - teams finishing second progress to playoffs for places 5 to 8 - teams finishing third progress to playoffs for places 9 to 12 - teams finishing fourth progress to playoffs for places 13 to 16.
The same structure is applied to the bottom half of the draw for places 17 to 32.
C Grade Draw Information
The C Grade draw is a modification of the A and B grade draw with 2 sections of 5 teams (Sections A, B). All teams play each other in their respective sections for Round 1 (4 games across the first two days)
At the end of Round 1 teams move into one of two Round 2 sections. The 'top half' (Section Z) is made up of 6 teams placing first, second and third in their Round 1 section. The 'bottom half' (Section Y) is made up of teams placing third or fourth in their Round 1 section.
Teams from the same Round 1 section carry their Round 1 game result through to Round 2 - that is, A1 will not play A2 despite being in the same crossover section. Teams play all other teams in the section. By this point, teams will have played 7 games.
The final game for each team is a play-off for classification with 1st v 2nd in section A being the C grade final, 3rd v 4th etc. There are no Quarter-Finals or Semi-Finals in C Grade.
