The team and the match results are deleted from the tournament table
and the League A will be played with 9 teams in the coming rounds.

As the League A will be finished with nine teams, the rules for
demotion and promotion of teams are modified for the end of the 12th

League A 9th place team will play a play-off with League B 2nd place
team. League B 1st place team is promoted directly.

League B 10th place team will be demoted to League C, the 9th place
team will avoid demotion.
