Round Robin results will be determined following the USA Pickleball rule book:
12.C.3. Round Robin. All players or teams play each other. Games may use any of the approved tournament scoring options. (See Rule 12.B.) The winner is determined based on number of matches won. If two or more teams are tied:
12.C.3.a. First tie-breaker: head-to-head matches won.
12.C.3.b. Second tie-breaker: point differential of all games played. (e.g., Team A won Match 1 11-8, 11-4, so they would have a point differential of +10. Team A then wins the second match 11-9, 2-11, 11-6. For this round, they would have a point differential of -2. This would give them a total for the day of +8.)
12.C.3.c. Third tie-breaker: head-to-head point differential.
12.C.3.d. 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.)
Combined Brackets:
If brackets are combined, they will be combined by skill level first, then age.
Medals will only be awarded to the top 3 finishers in a combined skill/age bracket, not to the individual skill/age bracket.
