      1. If both teams declare an overlapping date for playing the match, the system will set the fastest possible date for playing the match.

Dates are added to the basket in 15-minute increments, e.g. Team A declares its availability at 5:15 p.m., Team B declares its availability at 6:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. In this situation, dates will be added to the basket: 17:15 (Team A), 18:00 (Team B), 18:15 (Team B), 18:30 (Team B).
