Now, I promised to explain how the eleven teams are going to end up as three for Sunday's semi and final. There are two sections of six and five. After the round robin, the top four teams in each will play in a further section of eight. Each team will have already played three of these teams, and their record against these teams is carried forward. After four more games, against the four teams that had started out in the different section, the top ranked team progresses straight to the final; second and third contest a semi. Let me know if that still doesn't make sense.
