Dziki Warszawa finished the regular season of the Suzuki 1st Men's League in second place, with a balance of 26-8. This means that Wataha will play in the play-off phase for the second time in its history!
Well, how will it look now? Grab a little guide:
The play-off phase consists of three rounds:
When it comes to the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, the competition is played to three wins. This means that 5 matches can be played in these stages. The situation is different in the fight for third place. There, you have to win twice.
The Wild Boars are starting the play-off phase with the quarterfinals. In this, the pack will face Decka Pelplin. The first two matches of the competition with Decka will take place in Hala Koło, on the weekend of April 15 and 16. The matches will be played at 15:45. The third match will be at the Decka hall next Saturday, April 22. If we do not find out the semi-finalist in this match, the fourth match in the series will take place the following day, also in Pelplin. In the event of a draw after four matches, the last, decisive match will take place in Warsaw. If it were to take place, it is scheduled for Wednesday, April 26.
If the pack advances to the semi-finals, the situation there is identical. In this phase, the Dziki may face someone from the Hydrotruck Radom / Sensation Kotwica Kołobrzeg duo. The first two matches have been scheduled for the weekend of April 29-30, so if the pack makes it to the semi-finals, these matches will take place in Hala Koło. The third match is scheduled for Saturday, May 6 - in the potential rivals' hall. A possible fourth match, also in the rivals' hall - on May 7. If the semi-final competition is not decided in four matches, the decisive match will be in Hala Koło. On Wednesday, May 10.
