SEMLA Flags play-in games are played as 3-way fixtures with each game half length at 2 x 20 mins. Each team plays the equivalent of a full 4 x 20 min game. Where a 4-way fixture is required the highest ranked team will play the lowest ranked team in game 1. The other two teams will play in game 2. The two winners play in game 3 to decide who progresses to the semi-finals. For the Intermediate Flags, the best place runner up is based on win/loss record, followed by goal difference, followed by goals scored, followed by scratching of heads.
