13 Reservoir Fish 2

15  Ro - Sham - Bo 3

16 Pick up team 

There will be 4 pools of 4 which are set out as below

1 2 3 4
6 5 7 8
9 10 11 12
14 13 15 16

""""This fornat gives a team the chance of playing 5 different teams 
in the quarter finals  (so I have been told!!!!)  This also means
that if the  seeds where not accurate, one gets a good chance of
rearranging the seeding in the pools.  Assuming, that there are 4
pools.  More importantly anyone severely over or underseeded has a
chance to change their status in the pool games (which after all is
the whole point of pools!).  """"
 
The middle two teams in each section will cross over with other pools 
with the top seeds and bottom seeds not crossing over

O the saturday games start at  9.10 and are all  18 minutes long.  
all pool games, cross overs and quarters will be played on the 
saturday.

O the sunday the semi finals and finals will be played all games 29 
minutes long.  any problems with this  format mail me back.

See you at the weekend

James
