Yes two larger groups from what I have seen, I'm guessing they have gone with East and West "Conferences" if you like.

I almost certainly will be at Barrow v Widnes, so yeah Ill get on the case.

[Druzik]

Interesting, so you have Championship and Championship1 teams mixed in a group and I assume that top 4 from each group through to 1/4 finals? Or will they go a top 8 for a round of 16?

They have always done a last 16 at the knockout stage so i assume top 8 from each group but dont know for sure
