Five-player finals
[edit]The playoff records give these final scores:[3]
| Division | Winner | Score | Runner-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Division 3 | MONAGUILLOS | 3–2 | Sykaryos |
| Division 4 | ChinChanChon | 3–0 | VAGOS RONNIN |
Division 3 used a three-team playoff: MONAGUILLOS beat TOWERS 4–2 in the semi-final before winning the final. No separate third-place match is displayed.[3]
In Division 4, Pink Sykaryos beat Obsidian Dragons 2–0 in the third-place match.[3]
Gaps and distinctions
[edit]Three-player playoff records
[edit]The final placings identify VAGOS RONNIN ROJO first, D5 Pink sykaryos second and Cartel D5 third in Tercias D4.[2] However, the displayed semi-final between D5 Pink sykaryos and Cartel D5 and final between VAGOS RONNIN ROJO and D5 Pink sykaryos each show 0–0, with individual point entries coded T, T and F for both teams.[3]
Those entries do not establish a numerical winning score or explain how the playoff positions were decided. The published placings are retained without reconstructing the outcome or assuming that the matches were cancelled.
Preliminary rankings
[edit]Sykaryos led the Division 3 preliminary table but finished second after losing the final.[2][3] Preliminary rankings are distinguished from final event placings.
The tournament results do not independently establish season champions or fulfilment of World Cup entry and travel prizes.
