During pool play, every player will play with & against each other player in the pool. Everyone will therefore play a total of 7 games during pool play. Everyone will referee their own games. USPPA rules will apply. Please keep everything friendly, casual, and consensual. Any rules disputes or questions can be raised with the tournament director.
All pool games will be to 11, win by one. Scores will be recorded & reported to the scoring table at the end of each game.
At the conclusion of round robin play, we will determine the top eight players, regardless of gender, based on total wins, followed by total points as a tiebreaker. These eight will advance to a final single elimination tournament, pairing the top player in one pool with the second top player in another pool.
We will also determine the top four men & four women players. Gift certificates will be awarded to the top four men & to the top four women.
The top eight players will advance to final single elimination championship tournament. Tournament games will be to 11, win by two. The final champion teams will be awarded trophies.
