3. Once we have established the seeds for the knockout stages, teams will be spread out to ensure no one side of the draw is “stacked” with seeds.

4. For example; Top half of the draw will contain seeds 1, 3, 5, 7 while bottom half of the draw contain seeds 2,4,6,8.

*Points to note

If two teams get drawn together in the knockout round that were in the same pool in the round robin, we will manually adjust the draw, moving the two most adjacent seeded teams between draw places to ensure two teams from the same pool do not meet again in knockout stages
