Round Robin Format:
For 24 player divisions (4 teams of 6 players):
Each team member will partner with every other member of their team to play one game of standard scoring to 11 (win by 1) with every other member drafted to their team against the designated pairings of the opposing team.
There will be 5 rounds of each team playing 3 sets of games. Teams need to win at least 2 sets of games (out of 3) to win a round. Teams need to win at least 3 rounds (out of 5) to win the overall team match.
Winners of the first two team matches will play against each other using the same format in the final round. Losers of the first two team matches will play for 3rd place.
In this format, each player is guaranteed 10 total games.
For 16 player divisions (4 teams of 4 players):
Format is the same as above, but with 4 players per team there will be 3 rounds of each team playing 2 sets of games.
Each team will play the 3 other teams in their division, one at a time. Rather than tracking overall team win/loss records, the top 2 teams will be determined by total number of team points earned.
Teams will earn 1 point for each round tied and 2 points for each round won over the course of their 3 total team matches. For example, if a team wins all 3 rounds against all 3 teams, they will earn 18 points.
For the 1st/2nd place and 3rd/4th place matches, captains will pick 3 pairings for 3 games against the opposing team. All 4 team members must play at least once, 2 will play twice, but all pairings must be unique (no duplicates). The team that wins 2 out of 3 games wins their match.
In this format, each player is guaranteed at least 10 total games (11 total games max).
Draft Format:
We will hold a virtual draft after registration closes and before the day of the event (draft date/time TBD). The top 4 players of each gender will be designated as team captains and will take turns drafting teammates until there are 4 teams of 6 players (or 4 teams of 4 players depending on overall registration numbers). Once the top 4 teams are established, 4 more captains will be designated from the remaining pool of players and they will pick their teammates out of the remaining players in each gender pool. This process will repeat until all players have been picked for a team. At the end of the draft there will essentially be tiered divisions by skill level containing 4 teams each. Each division of 4 teams will only play teams within their division.
*Game play and draft format are subject to change depending on overall registration numbers.*
