You can see the CPL draw has one of the new teams in 4th seed as they have bought the spot of chillis who ended up 4th. I would suppose they've done the same in div 1 as they dd with SPL. So whoever bought whichever spot, takes their result from last year
Now why they have still used a snake draw for all but the CPL I don't know. Were playing the same teams as ever before. Just do like with CPL and make each pot and draw one from each for the group. Instead of 4 pots of 4, use 7 pots of 4 for SPL, etc etc.
Am I wrong?
