Playoffs

Tom Buck finished 3rd in Group A and qualified for the quarter-finals because he won 5 games which was more than either Oliver Harding or Michael Mawhood who were the 3rd-placed finishers in the other groups. Even allowing that he played one extra game because of the larger group, he still scored more points overall than either Oliver or Michael.
Oliver and Michael both won 4 games but Oliver scored more points overall than Michael and he therefore qualified for the quarter-finals with Tom as the best 3rd-placed finishers.

The top 2 players in each group plus Tom and Oliver played quarter-finals as follows:

Quarter-finals
Tom Brazier	21-15	Oliver Harding
