For the first stage of the Round Robin, the teams entering the Round Robin have been divided into two "Divisions," the Bears and the Bulls. You can read about how the teams were assigned to the two divisions. Coin tossing was done by the DICs to shuffle the brackets created by the "snake" allocation method. The teams were renumbered in seeding point order within the divisions - the Bears teams are numbers 1-11, the Bulls numbers 12-22. Here are the results:
