A NOTE ON FORMATS

The format for each bracket is decided on how many teams finally end up in a bracket after the registration closes and when people are done withdrawing. This decision has to occur at the very last minute to make sure the brackets are accurate and the printing of the match cards is not a fools errand! This also ensures that the amount of playing each team gets is maximized. Court availability, time, as well as level of play also factor into the decision.

Example Round Robin formats

6 teams may play 5 games to 11 or 15

8 teams may play 7 games to 11 or 15

Our goal is to let every pickle play as much as possible in the space and time that we are given!

A NOTE ON PLAYOFFS

Playoffs are determined by the factors listed above. Some brackets may get a gold/silver medal match that is best 2/3 games to 11 win by two and some may not! But rest assured all brackets do get medal matches.

The tournament directors have the right to change formats at anytime.
