Clint, what I was told by Barry, Lars and Ulrich (not all at the same time, but over the course of Sunday in Malaga) was:
The site plan for Bitburg was for 5 fields and they were looking to add an extra field to help accommodate the catch-up games.
The catch-up games would be played on the Bitburg layout.
Catch-up games would take precedence on Friday morning for CPL/SPL/D1 teams (each of whom, as I understand it, have completed two prelim games, so have to play at least one remaining prelim from Malaga, followed by the knockouts etc.).
Rosters from Malaga will not have to be adhered to for the catch ups.
The above is not gospel, just what I was told on the day was likley to happen.
So, I'm guessing that's a good old early start for eveybody on Friday morning, I would expect them to attempt to complete the Malaga games in one day for the top 3 divs, possibly moving onto the Bitburg prelims for those teams who don't make the cut or get KO'd in the play-offs. Whatever, its going to take a scheduling genius to keep on top of it all.
