Season 24: Playoffs Schedule and Brackets

Good morning,

Today (Nov 19) is the last Match Day of the League Stage.

Next, the top 8 players will advance directly to the Playoffs, Round of 16 and will be seeded there. Players ranked in places 9-24, will play an additional Knock-out round and its winners will join the R16. Then quarterfinals, semifinals and final four will follow in a Saturday - Wednesday rhythm.

Check below the schedule and brackets (there's no draw - brackets are set based on the final standings of the League Stage).

All Playoffs rounds are one match only. If a match ends in a draw, the League Stage order is the tie-breaker.

Situation after 6 rounds

Standings table

The table order is determined by:

• points,
• total score ("For" column)
• in case of the above being equal, the tie-breaker will be ranking position prior to the season

@bucipuci, @wahacoce and @benbow2017 have secured a place in the Top 8 and will therefore have a week of rest before the Round of 16. The remaining 5 privileged places will be decided between @navidjahanshahi (almost certain), @merthin, @new.things (both very likely), @mushanov, @browery, @itz.inno and @danmaruschak (in reality the real contest is between the latter four).

At the bottom of the table, @tom45p has been disqualified (3 missing step counts reports), @caspermoeller89 and @pjansen need a miracle, while @fredkese needs to win his match and hope that @alovely088 loses his. @davidthompson57 is not in the danger zone, as he will get free 3 points as a walk-over against @tom45p.
