The tournament is a USAPA sanctioned tournament. All participants are required to be USAPA members. Memberships must be valid through the last day (Aug 29, 2021) of the tournament.

This tournament will be all round-robin with a shootout of the top THREE teams (5 and less teams/event) or FOUR teams (6 and more teams/event) for gold, silver, & bronze medals (for a non-pool event). Winning teams are determined by:
- Round-robin win/loss record
- If two teams tied, head-to-head with those teams involved
- If three or more teams tied, point differential taken from all matches played within the round-robin. (Example: Team A won their first match 15-9, so they would have a point differential of +6. Team A then lost their second match 6-15. For this round, they would have a point differential of -9. This would give them a total for the day of -3.)
- If three or more teams tied, round-robin point differential from only games played with the teams involved.
- Coin toss
Top 3 teams (non-pool event) advance to medal round (shootout).
- Round 1: 2 plays 3
- Round 2: winner plays 1 / loser receives bronze
Top 4 teams (non-pool event) advance to medal round (shootout).
- Round 1: 1 plays 4 ; 2 plays 3
- Round 2: winners play for gold/silver; losers play for bronze
If an event has 8 or more teams, the event will be divided into two pools with the top two teams from each pool taking part within the shootout. The top team from Pool 1 will play second team from Pool 2 and the top team from Pool 2 will play second team from Pool 1. The winning teams will play each other for gold/silver. Losing teams will play each other for bronze.
Brackets may be combined or split as needed.
