TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The 1st Annual All Stars Battle for the Capital will feature a competitive format designed to provide players with plenty of play while keeping brackets moving efficiently throughout the weekend.
Match Format
Games will generally be played to 11, win by 2, with a cap at 15, depending on the number of teams, bracket size, and pool configuration.
Brackets with 9 teams or fewer will generally compete in a Round Robin format.
Brackets with 10 or more teams will most likely be divided into multiple pools, followed by a playoff bracket.
For pool play, the top two teams or more from each pool will typically advance to the playoff round to compete for medals. The number of teams advancing may vary depending on bracket size and pool configuration.
Final formats may be adjusted based on registration numbers to provide the best possible tournament experience.
Skill Levels & Player Placement
Players should register for the division that most accurately reflects their current skill level.
The Tournament Director reserves the right to review and adjust player or team placement when necessary to help ensure fair, balanced, and competitive play across all divisions.
Partner Registration
For all doubles and mixed doubles divisions, both partners must complete their registration within 3 days of the first partner's registration.
If the second partner has not registered within that 3-day period, the incomplete team may be moved to the waiting list. If the second partner registers after the deadline, the team may be reinstated into the event if space is still available in that bracket.
Players are encouraged to have both partners register as close together as possible to secure their team's spot.
