SKINNY SINGLES FORMAT | BOTP2 EVENT MERGE (Below)
* Combination of Down-the-line and Cross-court. Each player receives or serves based on their points. Example: The game starts at 0:0, both players are Cross-court (on right/even sides) and play out that point Cross-court only; if the Server gets a point, only the Server moves to the left/odd side and serves Down-the-line to the opponent, who is still on the right/even side of the court, and that point is played Down-the-line only, and so on, every other rule stays the same).
ROUND ROBIN FORMAT
* Events with more than 5 teams will be arranged by pools. Example: if there are 6 teams, they will be split into 2 pools; the top 2 teams from each pool will continue to the medal rounds - additional pools may be added as required.
* You play each team in your pool (if implemented), 1 game to 11 points, win by 2.
* Top 2 teams from each pool (if implemented) will be determined by the IFP standard - Total matches won | First tie-breaker: head-to-head matches won | Second tie-breaker: point differential of all games played | Third tie-breaker: head-to-head point differential | Fourth tie-breaker: point differential against next-highest team. (e.g., If the teams are tied for second, use point differentials against the first-place team.)
* Tournament Director has the right to make changes to any format
* Medals will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams.
* Initial round(s) of playoffs will be one game to 11, win by 2.
* Bronze medal matches will be one game to 11, win by 2.
* Gold/Silver medal matches for 2.5 level events will be one game to 11, win by 2
* Gold/Silver medal matches for 3.0+ level events will be best 2 of 3, to 11, win by 2.

BOTP2 Event(s) Update.
(Processing Platform: Pickleball Brackets)
For Tournament Registration(s)
PLEASE READ!!
Due to the ranging skill levels in some events, these events will be broken up into two events. The description below explains what format this will take.
Note: The mergers and medal awards in BOTP2 will only pertain to Lower Skill Mergers (The higher skill level(s) playing down) and will take effect after registration closes.
For an event NOT TO BE MERGED, there must be at least 3 teams signed up for it. In a scenario where less than 3 teams are signed up, they will be MERGED to the next bracket lower or higher (.5 skill range) based on that team or Tournament Director's prerogative.
For Lower Skill Merge (example 3.0 skill merging with 2.5 skill event), whatever medal they win will be the ONLY medal they RECEIVE for both the merge and the initial bracket they signed up for, irrespective of what is stated on the processing platform; on the other hand, if they do not win any medal in the Lower Skill Merge, they will not get any medals, irrespective of what is stated on the processing platform.
For Higher Skill Merge (example 3.5 skill merging with 4.0 skill event), the team gets medals in that merge if they win and also get medals based on their initial signed up bracket as stated on the processing platform.
