The draw for the 2013 Telkom Knockout quarter-finals has been completed! Click here to see the fixtures…

Teams are once again seeded for the Telkom Knockout quarter-finals, but the process is complicated, as Mpumalanga Black Aces and Orlando Pirates are yet to play their last 16 tie.

Pirates would be one of the seeded teams should they make it through, while Aces would not.

“In an unseeded draw we would simply have a slip showing Orlando Pirates/MP Black Aces, and the winning team would go through to the next round as drawn,” PSL general manager Derek Blanckensee explains.

“This particular round of the Telkom Knockout is however seeded, meaning that the highest finishing four teams from last year’s Premiership are kept separate from the remaining four teams.”

If means that if Aces beat Pirates at Mbombela Stadium tomorrow, the four seeded clubs would be Kaizer Chiefs, Platinum Stars, SuperSport United and Free State Stars.

But if Pirates win, they will be seeded along with Chiefs, Platinum Stars and SuperSport.

Thus the draw was completed as follows:

The first (seeded pot) had the names of Chiefs, Platinum Stars, SuperSport and a slip Orlando Pirates/Free State Stars.

The second (unseeded pot) had the names Golden Arrows, Moroka Swallows, Mamelodi Sundowns and Mpumalanga Black Aces/Free State Stars.

Once the Aces-Pirates match is completed on Tuesday and the winner known, the following will occur, according to Blanckensee: “We will delete the name of the losing team out of Orlando Pirates or MP Black Aces on the one draw slip, leaving Free State Stars to play as drawn.

“On the other draw slip we will delete the name of Free State Stars and retain the name of the winner of the outstanding match to play as drawn.”
