The second league streak, while the first and second division clubs fight each other on a separate branch for 15 sessions.
The 20 teams in the second league were knocked out in ten pairs in the previous round, and the top ten teams and the top 20 teams will meet in this week’s round. The 15 who advance from this round will now be on the single “mixed” 32 board, whose matches will be played on March 6th and 7th.
