Block Schedule:
All divisions (age and skill level) will have multiple pools available across different blocks allowing you to choose the time slot that works best for you and be able to participate in other activities throughout the day. What this means is that your entire pool will be played within a 4.5-hour block, and you will know exactly when you start and end.
Event Format:
Each tournament will receive a 4-game guarantee. Depending on the number of teams in your pool, you may play 2-3 pool play games and then either a single or double elimination bracket format. Some tournaments may experience a pool break on Day 1 and begin bracket play at the end of their time slot. Others may only play pool play on Day 1 and complete all of bracket play on Sunday. Everyone should be prepared to play on Sunday.
When the schedule is released review your division’s schedule and check which seed you need to make in order to fight for a spot on the podium. Larger brackets may have a Gold Championship bracket which end in awards and a Silver Consolation bracket (for the higher seeds) which do not end in awards.
IF GAMES will only be played in the Championship bracket and during the Championship game. All other games will be justified based on who wins the 2/3 rallies.
Style of Play:
Pool-play will be one game rally scoring to 21, win by 2.
Bracket-play will be best 2/3 rally scoring to 15, win by 2.

Awards:
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will receive individual awards.
