It is the first game of a best-of-3 series. The second game will be played already next Wednesday. It will be interesting to see if the 4 home team can defend home court and grab a chance to qualify on Wednesday. With a loss at home, the better seeded teams will be under pressure on Wednesday.
In the men’s play-down, it is the first game day of a total of 6 games, each team will face each other twice. Mamer has the best cards, the club has a 2-point advantage over Gréngewald and a 3-point advantage over the Pikes and Steelers to start this round. The bottom 2 teams after 6 game days will relegate to the National 2, the third last placed team will play a best-of-3 promotion/relegation series against the third best team from the National 2.
