/// RULES & FORMAT \\\
SPO tournaments recognize USAPA rules and all paddles MUST be on the USAPA approved paddle list.
The format for all events will be round robin with top teams from each pool advancing to playoffs. Each team will be scheduled for at least 4 games. Pools and amount of teams in each pool will be determined based on how many teams register in the given event.
If an event has 3 teams or less, this event may be combined with another event. If an event has 4 or 5 teams, it will be round robin format. Results WILL BE uploaded to DUPR.
Start times will not be announced until registration closes! This is because the number of registrants for each event will determine when we can start each bracket. We need to know the final number of registrants for each event in order to determine the most efficient start times to keep the day running as smoothly as possible, respecting everyone's time and minimizing waiting. Start times will be released 1 or 2 days after registration closes, but may be subject to change due to any unforeseen circumstances.
