Are division boundary playoff matches published somewhere?

Are division boundary playoff matches published somewhere?

Only when somebody expresses an interest. Otherwise I just play them when it is convenient to do so.

I can tell you that Hamsters won a very narrow victory over Crafty by 6.5-5.5 and that Petir beat DanaSah by 6-4.

I can make the pgns available if anybody would like them.

Cheers,
Graham.
