Your TD must be a rookie at this. I've done a number of qualifiers where only the top two teams earn berths, and we never play the final. The losers' bracket final turns out to be the last game played. It seems to be the norm around here.

All eight of us got paid for two games on Sunday, even though we only worked one game apiece. Six of us were going to work three-man for the noon-time games, but the TD said we would all get paid.

Oh, our TD was asking, but the coaches did not want to answer. Perhaps they felt they would jinx themselves if they talked about sticking around before even winning a berth.
