When and who will play the 2024 Playoffs
Another year is coming to an end, an intense 2024 with many emotions, and with a Metropolitan Tournament that is also about to end. This weekend, December 9 and 10, the regular phase will close and then the Playoffs will be played and a champion per category will be defined. Although there are already some who have secured their place, quotas for both women and men still need to be defined.
The week after the end, the November 16 and 17 will be the quarterfinals of the Playoffs (the 3rd vs the 6th and the 4th vs the 5th play, with a sporting advantage for the best placed), on the 23rd and 24th the semifinals (1st and 2nd will wait for the winners of the previous crossings) and on the 30th the finals.
Lomas (1st) in women and San Fernando A (1st) in men, won first place in the standings, qualifying directly to the semifinals. The fight for the missing quota will be between GEBA (2nd) and Architecture (3rd) in the women’s competition, and Banco Provincia (2nd) and Ducilo (3rd) in the masculine. The Agronomy team is three points behind Palermo, while Pirate is two points ahead of the southern zone. Mathematically, they still have a chance.
On the feminine side, Provincial Bank (4th) secured their place in the Playoffs, while the last two places will be delimited between Santa Bárbara (5th), San Fernando (6th) and Italiano (7th), which has the same amount as Victoria’s set.
On the male side, City A (4th) and Hurling (5th) they entered, the Green after two years of being left out by one point, and the remaining place will be between Lomas (6th) and GEBA (7th). Miter (8th), last champion, said goodbye to the opportunity to defend the title on date 12 (Sunday, November 6), where he fell to Muni Go for 5 to 3.
It should be noted that, in case of equality of points, the first tie-breaking criterion is who won the most games in the year, followed by the goal difference, the goals for, the goals against and, finally, the confrontations against each other. .
What are the most interesting matches in the outcome?
On the last date, this Saturday, November 9, the Ladies of Gonnet face San Lorenzo, both in need of a victory. San Fernando will play against Vélez, and Italiano will play with River, on Sunday’s televised game. In men, Lomas will visit Hurling on Sunday, November 10, a key match for both, since Alec Doherty’s team needs to win to have the sporting advantage in the quarterfinals, and GEBA will face City B.
