Clearly, if you are going to have the top two teams from each pool advance, they should then cross-over, with the bottom bracket teams then dropping out and playing the winners of the losers in a double-elimination back-door round, which would leave the 4 teams remaining undefeated after the first round of play-offs playing each other in a second round single game, first to score three advancing over the top. And then the winner of the winning pool and the winners of the losing pool with meet, preferably in dueling pistols down the line at ten paces. Stephen formerly GUN, still Happy
