Top 1 it is, I've said so for ages.
I've decided that in group E there really is no obvious second team behind Whenuapai, so I'll go with the order out of the hat: first team 4, second team 3, third team 2, and fourth team 1 (since I want the seeded team to be 1 for clarity.)
The fixture list:
18th November: 2 v 1, 3 v 4.
25th November: 1 v 3, 4 v 2.
2nd December: 1 v 4, 2 v 3.
Thus, the first round of games:
Group A:
Viveash (793) vs Boggles (7145)
Male Models (648) vs Leverock CC (6550)
