Structure
editOriginally, there would be a knock-out stage after the group (single round-robin) stage, where the 1st ranked team would play the 2nd ranked team in the Championship match and the 3rd ranked team would play the 4th ranked team in the third place match.[6]
Eventually, the knock-out matches were not played due to insufficient time. Instead, the rankings after the single round-robin matches became final.[7][8]
Results
editThe ANU Owls won the 2017 Cup, keeping their status as undefeated champions.[9][10]
