The format is as follows: No. 7 plays No. 8 and No. 9 plays No. 10. The winner of game 7-8 gets the No. 7 seed, while the loser plays the winner of game 9- 10 for the No. 8 seed. In other words, the Nos. 7 and 8 seeds get two shots to win a play-in game, while No. 9 and 10 seeds have no margin of error, they must win two in a row to enter. A defeat and it’s out. Below is the program for each play-in game.
