The fixtures for the weekend have been amended due to a number of teams withdrawing from the event and the implementation of the Heat Policy. Some teams have been re-graded, so that there are roughly equal numbers in each Competition.

In Competitions where there are only 5 teams, a Semi-Final round has been added to the fixtures. The Semi-finals consist of First v Fourth and Second v Third. The Winners progress to the Grand FInal.

In Competitions where there are 6 or 7 teams, there is only a Grand Final between First and Second on the Standings.
