Asian Champs prospectus and Kaspersky Cup
Posted by Vietnam Swans on September 17, 2010
The 2010 Asain Championships, Shanghai, 16 October.
While the talk of the town is currently the AFL Grand Final, the Organising Committee for that other major event, the 2010 Asian Champs has just released the .
Among other things, the Prospectus details the format of the 12 team competition. There will be 4 groups of 3 teams each. The top 4 teams from last year’s Champs will head up each group. The remaining teams will be decided by a draw.
Each match will comprise two ten-minute halves and every team shall play a minimum of 4 games each. The teams will play each other in their groups (2 matches each). All teams will then go through to the placing games and finals. So, those teams that finish last in each group will then play each other for a place. Higher placed teams in the group stage will play in semi finals and then the Grand Final.
This format will ensure that all teams play against similarly skilled teams so that the final results from 1 – 12 will be as fair as it can get.
