the tournament now moves on to the playoffs stage.

The world champion New Zealand Community Trust Black Sox are the top seed 
in the top four play off series given their unbeaten record in round robin 
play. Samoa is ranked second followed by the home side Australia and South 
Africa.

Given their top two rankings the NZCT Black Sox and Samoa will play off 
tonight at 8.30pm (NZ time) weather permitting. The winner of this game 
with take direct entry through to the final tomorrow at 8.30pm (New Zealand 
time).

In other play off games Australia and South Africa will face off in winner 
take all match. The looser of that game will drop out of the title race 
while the winner will go on the play the looser of the game between the 
NZCT Black Sox and Samoa for the right to go through to the final.
