2007     Open and     Women's 
        Playoffs 
 
        
              
Due to extraordinary and unforeseen 
        circumstances, the Management Committee of the ABF has invited a seventh 
        team to join the Open Playoff. The invited team being the Markey team, 
        as submitted during the tender process. It is anticipated that this team 
        will accept their invitation. 
        
To assist with the efficacy of the movement and the validity of the 
        tournament, it has been decided to also increase the number of teams in 
        the women's playoff to seven. This is to be achieved by inviting the 
        McCartney team, as submitted in the tender process, to enter the 
        tournament. Once again, it is anticipated that this team will accept 
        their invitation. 
        
If for any reason, a team withdraws from either event, or decides not 
        to accept their invitation to play, then only the affected field will be 
        reduced. That is, we will hold events with unequal numbers of teams. If 
        multiple teams withdraw from either event, the Management Committee of 
        the ABF will consider the situation and make a decision accordingly. 
        
The ABF Tournament Committee is currently working on amending the 
        regulations and format of the events. As soon as they have determined 
        the detail of the events, they will be posted on the ABF website. 
        
Please note, there is currently no consideration being given to 
        altering the advised format of the Seniors Playoff event.
