We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Anybody know what this is all about?

The MFT and WFT had 9 teams as BF entered home nation teams. Therefore a L16 match was required before the quarter-finals. With no home nation teams in MS (or WE for that matter) this extra round isn't required.

The programme was probably set up the same for all the events and now they have realised the extra match isn't required, so we can all wait an hour longer and avoid the worst of the rush hour travel.
