Tournament Format

We try to get as many 5-team pools as possible. Teams play a round robin in their pool on Saturday. Play will be from 8:00 am until about 5:00 pm. On Sunday, there is a challenge round followed by single elimination playoffs. Play is scheduled to complete around 4:00 pm on Sunday. If we end up with 4-team pools, there may be some cross-over matches on Saturday afternoon to give teams 4 matches on Saturday.

In 5-team pools, the challenge round and playoffs, play is best 2 out of 3 sets format. First 2 sets to 25 points, starting at 4-4. Third set, if needed, is to 15 points, starting at 0-0.

Some alternate match formats may be used to accommodate for smaller division or pool sizes.

Tie Breaking Procedure

All ties will be broken on paper. There will be no playoff sets played at any time. The order to break ties:

2-way ties: The head to head match result determines the tie-breaker.

3-way ties: 3 Teams have the same MATCH record after pool play (this also applies for 4 team pools where automatic 3 sets are played):
