*Starting with Games L and M, the pairings for the next games are decided as follows, in the following order:
1) The remaining four teams are matched so that the undefeated team plays a team it has not yet played in this Tournament; if there are two such teams, it is matched so that all four remaining teams have not played each other.
2) If the undefeated team has played all of the remaining teams, but two of those teams have not played each other, then the two that have not played are matched together and the undefeated team plays the “other” team.
3) If all four teams have previously played each other, then the undefeated team is matched with the remaining team that it played earliest in the Tournament.
After GAME “M”, there are two possible scenarios: either one undefeated team and one team that is 3-1, or there are three 3-1 teams.
If there is one undefeated team and one that is 3-1, they will play each other, with the 3-1 team needing to win twice to win the championship. If after Game “M” there are three teams that are 3-1, the winner of Game “K” (winner’s bracket champion) gets a bye. The two remaining teams will play first. The winner of that game will play the winner of Game “K” for the championship.
