The best players in each team
Which are correct (the assumption is that there are two teams in all):
1-The best players from each team will play against each other.
2-The best players from either team will play against each other.
3-The best players from both teams will play against each other.
In which case:
a-The best player from each team will play against the best player from the other team
and in which
b-The best players from each team will play against the best players from the other team
and which sentences are ambiguous?
Gratefully,
Navi.
