Tournament Format

Get ready for a fast paced, fun format this year!

Morning:

Each team will be placed into an A or B group where they will play a 6 match round-robin . Each match will be 5 games total, no ad scoring. Matchups will be determined by cumulative games won, without repeating opponents. The top 8 of each group will move onto the knockout brackets in the afternoon.

**In a round robin format, each participant competes against every other participant in the tournament. This method ensures that all competitors face off, allowing for a more thorough evaluation of skill levels. However, it can be time-consuming and requires careful scheduling to accommodate all matches.

Afternoon:

The top 4 teams of each group will be placed into the A group. The next 4 teams of each group will be placed into the B group. Each match will be first to win 6 games, no-ad scoring.
