Final Placements will reflect the decisions made by the Games Committee after reviewing appeals on February 8th. Results should be posted on of before Friday February 12th and are not eligible for further appeal. Team placements will not change unless additional team withdrawals make an individual division too small to create a viable game schedule. Should additional team withdrawals occur, the Games Committee will review the status of those divisions affected to make sure a viable game schedule can be still created. Final placements will be re-posted as they occur.
