Qualification

Seeding was determined from the league standings following the conclusion of the first round of matches in the 2010–11 season. The bottom two teams were placed in a penalty shootout to determine which team would advance to the qualifying round. Teams ranked seventh to ninth were then placed directly into the qualifying round which will determine the seventh and eight spots in the quarterfinals. Finally, the teams ranked from first to sixth automatically qualified for the quarterfinals.[2]

The automatic quarterfinal qualifiers in order of league position were: Defence Force, Joe Public, W Connection, Ma Pau, San Juan Jabloteh, and Caledonia AIA.

gollark: Diminishing marginal utility and all.
gollark: Other way round, actually.
gollark: The money generally comes from Primary Apionode 4124, since APIONET took over the financial system.
gollark: If you reduce government participation more stuff will probably be run by market systems and people/companies interacting directly, but that generally provides more choice than governments.
gollark: Idea: pay politicians more money so lobbying will be more expensive per unit politician.
