Perfectly timed to the main break of the Footy!

Alrighty, let's get this underway, the first bit can be done very quickly. Assigning the 1-2 seeds to lead off the 8 groups, and I guess be the group favourites (maybe not idk much about how much teams have changed over the offseason).

So without further ado....

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F	Group G	Group H
Macedonian Wolves	Winchester Werewolves	Christchurch Saints	Mongolian Lambs	Serbian Eagles	Laos Elephants	Liverpool Rams	Mexico City Suns

[PowerBug]

Now we go through it nice and slowly...

The 2nd team in Group A is out of the Worlds, British and Asians 3-4 seeds.

And that team is.....
Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers

Joining the Winchester Werewolves in Group B is....

Sri Lankan Strikers

Group C: English Lions

Group D: Dublin Destroyers

The Groups:

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F	Group G	Group H

Pretty sure Dublin is not a team you want joining your group, especially whilst not at full strength  :-\

[PowerBug]

And to round out the 2nd lot of teams:
Grou G: UAE Tigers
Group H: Svalbard Valkyries


The Groups:

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F	Group G	Group H

I need to be careful I don't make any mistakes now so it might be a little slower for this round

[Hellopplz]

That's an alright top seed to join for PNL!

[PowerBug]

We will now draw the 5th and 6th seeds into their groups.

Group A requires a British and Asians team, so we have 4 teams that can join that group.

Bradford Badgers congratulations!
