With the final group games taking place next weekend, we take this opportunity to remind everyone of the championship regulations.

The championship groupings be made up of three groups of four with an open draw to determine same.

The top two teams in each group proceed automatically to the quarter finals. Final Group positions will be determined as per Rule 6.20 (5) T.O. 2012.

The best third placed team shall automatically constitute the seventh quarter finalist with Rule 6.20 (5) (c) (ii)-(iv) being used to determine any possible tie among third placed teams across groups.

The remaining two third placed teams to play off, the winner of which will proceed as the eighth quarter-finalist and the losing team will play in a Relegation Semi Final.

When the eight teams for the quarter finals have being determined, an open draw system should take place ensuring teams from the same group cannot play each other at this stage. With regard to relegation semi finals, a similar system should be applied, where teams from the same group should not play each other in the first round of the play-off.

Winners of the quarter finals to be put into an open draw to determine semi final pairings, no regard to previous meetings in the competition should be brought in consideration for this round.
