To preserve chronological evolvements, (1) any postponed matches, and (2) matches that are originally scheduled and played after a full round has started, are not included to the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for round 7, but then played between rounds 8 and 9, it will be added to the standings for round 8.
