how do the ko's work mike?

all these eliminators, qualifiers and so on... seems to me it's just a way of squeezing an extra match in somewhere

It's like the IPL...top two teams play each other, winner goes through to the final.

Third and fourth play each other, loser eliminated.

Loser of first match and winner of second play off to become the second finalist.

I'm still trying to catch up with my recordings, so I'm nowhere near that yet!
