All teams will have one fixture next week to determine places 1 - 8.  

PLEASE remember that this event is about YOU, the players.  As in the spirit in which the event was intended and has been over the last 3 years, it is up to teams to ensure ALL players get equal game time. There are no coaches as this is part of the educational experience for all involved.  By now everyone should know and have interacted with their team mates in order for the objectives to be achieved.
