Nederlands
 AMSTERDAM (Neth.) -
The second game of the 3-game series by league-leaders L&D Amsterdam Pirates and Curaçao Neptunus rained out on Friday-evening (May 29).
The game is re-scheduled for Tuesday, June 9.
The series continues on Saturday-afternoon in Rotterdam.
Instead of playing on the regular days of Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, tonight's game was moved from Sunday to make room for both teams to prepare for the upcoming European Cup Tournaments.
Amsterdam Pirates travels to Paris (France) on Sunday, where it will start its tournament on Tuesday.
Neptunus will play its tournament at home in Rotterdam.
With tonight's rainout, the first decision(s) for the Play-Offs will be postponed another day.
But the scenario on Saturday remains the same.
The winner of the Amsterdam-Neptunus game will qualify for the Play-Offs.
These are the scenarios:
 When Amsterdam wins on Saturday, it will qualify for the Play-Offs, but that also means that Pioniers will be eliminated, based on the head-to-head results against Neptunus (0-3).
It also means that Kinheim can still finish ahead of Neptunus, when the Rotterdam-squad is swept by Amsterdam and Kinheim sweeps Pioniers.
When Neptunus wins on Saturday, it will qualify for the Play-Offs, but that means that the other three teams remain in contention for the second spot.
Kinheim can finish ahead of Amsterdam when that team loses vs. Neptunus and Kinheim sweeps Pioniers.
Also, Pioniers can qualify in case of a Saturday-loss for Amsterdam, while Pioniers itself wins on Saturday and on Sunday vs. Kinheim.
Pioniers then ends up in a tie with Amsterdam and will qualify based on the head-to-head result (2-1).
When the game between Amsterdam and Neptunus ends in a tie on Saturday, both teams will qualify for the Play-Offs.
Kinheim can than still end in a tie with either Amsterdam or Neptunus, but the head-to-head results are in favor of the two leaders.
When Amsterdam wins on Saturday and Pioniers wins against Kinheim, it will result in the qualification for both Amsterdam and Neptunus.
Pioniers then can end up in a tie with Neptunus, but the Rotterdam-squad then qualifies based on the head-to-head results (3-0).
When Neptunus wins on Saturday and Pioniers wins against Kinheim, the latter will be eliminated.
The final decision then will come on Sunday.
When Pioniers then wins against Kinheim, it will qualify based on its head-to-head results against Pirates (2-1).
When Kinheim wins, Amsterdam will qualify.
