Double elimination details
The 16 winners will play each other with the 8 who win those ties going into the main competition.
The 16 losers will play each other with the 8 who lose going home.
The final round, of 16 one-time-winner-one-time-losers will play each other to get the final 8 entrants.
Each stage of the draw (including this first one) drawn randomly. I'm not yet sure whether I'm supposed to keep the fixtures 'fresh' for the final one-time-winners round, but don't plan to as it stands, pure random.
Organisation/playing
As per the main tournament this is of course AWC format games.
Charlie has kindly activated the email notifications for all fixtures - you'll now find an aptomail already set up to help you organise the fixture with your opponent.
There is no huge rush but I would imagine this first round being completed by Friday 25th April at the latest. Please.
Good luck all.
