to the 3 v 4 Playoff! And from there play a standard Page Playoff to end the tournament.        
(Full instructions on Page 2)   (no games from Draw 10 on the pool)      
                   
INSTRUCTIONS: Select the winner for every round robin game by putting each winning team name in the "WINNER" column.  
Pick the four different teams you think will play in the two Page Qualifier games, and choose the winners.      
Do the same for the two Page Seeding games and two Page Playoff games, and choose the winners.      
Pick the teams you think you will play in the Semifinal and Final games, and choose the winners.      
At the end of the Round Robin, the top 3 teams from Pool A and Pool B advance to the Playoffs.      
Page Qualifier Games: 2nd and 3rd place A teams play the 3rd and 2nd place B teams! Winners advance to Seeding Games!
Page Seeding Games: 1st place A and B teams play the winners of Qualifier games! Winners of these go to 1 v 2 Playoff; losers
go to the 3 v 4 Playoff! And from there play a standard Page Playoff to end the tournament: First, the 1 vs 2 and 3 vs 4 playoffs.
Winner of 1vs2 goes to final; loser meets winner of 3vs4 in semifinal. Semi winner goes to final; Losers of 3vs4 and semi are OUT!
Finally, apply the "Available Points" to every one of your picks, including team rankings, using each number only once.  
Points this time go from 1 to 32, then 35 and 40, just a bit of a bonus for your top 2 games!

Pool Scoring:                
1. You of course get full points for correctly picking any round robin, qualifier, seeding, playoff, or final match winners.  
2. In the qualifier, seeding, etc. games, you receive partial points for placing teams in the correct playoff round.    
3. Page Qualifier games: Your picks here are interchangeable. If you pick two winners in either order, you get your full points.
and if you place any team in either qualifier game, and they don't win, you still get half points for that. Need 4 different teams!
4. Page Seeding games: Same as the Qualifier round, picks are interchangeable here too. Full or half points again.  
5. Page Playoff games: These are different. You must place a team in the exact page playoff game to get full or half points.  
But if you place a team in the wrong page playoff game, you still get 1/4 points for that. Again, 4 different teams here.  
6. Semifinal and Final games: Must place teams in the correct match to get full or half points.
