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.

All critical games requiring adjudication are now finished,
pending any appeals. The remaining unfinished games do not affect
promotion/reletion and will be played to completion. |
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.
