Format
All games will be Round Robin. Based upon the bracket size, the games will be 1-15 points, winning by 2, or 1-11 points, winning by 2. In a Round Robin format, each team plays every other team in that bracket at least once. For example, in a bracket with eight teams, each team will play seven games.
Brackets are limited to a minimum of three teams and a maximum of eight teams which will play as follows:
-- Brackets with 3 or 4 teams will play a double Round Robin to 15 points.
-- Brackets with 5 teams will play a single Round Robin to 15 points.
-- Brackets with 6, 7, or 8 teams will play a single Round Robin to 11 points.
Brackets are formed first by Skill Level, such as 2.5, 3.0, etc., and then by Age in five year increments, such as 50-54, 55-59, etc.
The Tournament Director reserves the right to merge brackets when there is an insufficient number of players within a bracket to make for meaningful play. The Tournament Director also reserves the right to change the format should circumstances, such as adverse weather conditions, necessitate expediency. However, medals will be awarded based upon the final composition of a bracket.
For example, assume that for Skill Level 2.5 there are two teams for Age Group 50-54, two teams for Age Group 55-59, and two for Age Group 60-64. If the Tournament Director chooses to combine the three age groups into one bracket, only a single set of Comprehensive Medals will be awarded.
