Today, the first matches of the last round will be played, after which the 2nd stage of the cup will start which will determine the eventual ranking of your team in this edition of the cup.
The draw for this 2nd stage will be completely random, and will take place in the following manner:
- All group winners plus best no2 to semifinals
- Two other best no2 plus 2 best no3 play for places 5/8
- Other best no3 plus 3 no4 play for 9/12
etc.
This does mean that the draw can only take place when the final table from the league stages has become definive, i.e. when all the last group stage matches have been played. I will try to get the draw posted as soon as possible this thursday, please do not arrange or challenge anyone before the KO stage matches are posted here.
Finally:

NEXT MATCHES TO BE PLAYED ON NEUTRAL VENUE, WITH CUP RULES!

Feel free to pick the venue yourselves (either abroad or not), the only important thing is that no team should have home advantage in the KO stages, since there is no time to play home and away.
Good luck to all in these final group games!
