Btw.

How does the change into the round robins take place after the group-phase?

Is it like:

Game I : 1st group A - 2nd group H
Game II: 1st group B - 2nd group G
Game III: 1st group C - 2nd group F
Game IV: 1st group D - 2nd group E
Game V: 1st group E - 2nd group D
Game VI: 1st group F - 2nd group C
Game VII: 1st group G - 2nd group B
Game VIII: 1st group H - 2nd group A

Or like:

Game I : 1st group A - 2nd group D
Game II: 1st group B - 2nd group C
Game III: 1st group C - 2nd group B
Game IV: 1st group D - 2nd group A

Game V: 1st group E - 2nd group H
Game VI: 1st group F - 2nd group G
Game VII: 1st group G - 2nd group F
Game VIII: 1st group H - 2nd group E


Or some other way?

Just curious...

All right- we have ten competing fantasy teams! I have on paper a master list of all of your pre-tournament predictions.

Fantasy teams are locked in now. After the first sixteen matches I will announce the next round of match-ups and you will be allowed unlimited trades. The same goes for after that round. But remember that after the third and final round of group play you will only be allowed six trades. And once the playoffs begin only three trades per round are allowed.

There has been one change to the fantasy point system. I edited my first post. The goalie can now earn additional points for saves.

If you think that will greatly impact your choice you may replace your goalie at this time. When you do trades please just post who is leaving your team and who is joining your team.
