All four games have teams facing opponents from another league!
We have some of our most experienced coaches remaining in the competition, with five of the eight having played all 13 TS seasons, and two of the others having both played 11 of the 13 seasons! The odd one out is @James84 who has only played 5 of our TS seasons, with this being his first season back after a two-year hiatus.

There is a range of where these teams drafted, slightly skewed to the top of the draft, with four of the teams having picks in the top-4, and three having picks 9, 10 & 11, with myself right in the middle with pick 6.

We have three teams remaining from each of Premier League and Division 2; with the other two from Division 1.

Six of the teams are currently doing well in their league standings, but @stowie and @Lano24 are somewhat exceeding expectations to make it this far, given that they are currently 7th and 8th in their respective league standings!

Good luck to all the remaining teams! I'm looking forward to finding out who gets through to the semis!
