Following is my analysis of how many games must be finished in each group to determine next season's position for every team. Of the 30 games currently unfinished there are none of significance for promotion/relegation. All games called in for adjudication have been adjudicated. The other games still in play will continue till finished.

Notes:

The "Critical Games Remaining" column indicates the maximum number of games that must finish to determine to positions of all the teams for next season.

It is possible that a few additional games must be finished to determine the money prizes, since they are dependent upon the final scores (by percentage) of the top teams. E.g., places 1-3 in group "A" all play in group "A" next season, but the exact placement of the teams will determine their money prizes. For the rules determining the prize funds see Prize Announcement.
