✨ **Special Highlight: MONEY BALL BONUS** ✨
If the event reaches 20+ teams, it will be upgraded to a Money Ball division, where the 1st place team takes home a $300 cash prize. And for the heavy hitters, the 4.5 to 5.0 bracket is officially a Money Ball division. 💵🏆
🏓 **Tournament Format: Pool Play + Playoff Bracket**
All players will begin in pool play, where you’ll face everyone in your assigned group. Each game in pool play will be played to 11 points, win by 2 using regular scoring.
After pool play, *every* player advances to the playoff bracket, regardless of wins or losses. Pool play results will determine your seeding for the playoff round.
In the playoff stage, all matches will again be played to 11 points, win by 2, except for the **Gold Medal Match**, which will be best 2 out of 3 games to 11 points, win by 1.
This format gives everyone plenty of playtime and a fair chance to battle their way toward the top spot.
