Additional Information
FORMAT DETAILS:
3 teams are a double round robin 1-15 win by 2 switch sides at 8 – all teams to playoffs. The top team based on results will have a bye while the bronze match of the 2nd & 3rd place teams play the bronze match 1-15 win by 2. The winner of that goes to play the gold match with the team that was on the bye.
***All gold medal matches are offered a 2/3-11 win by 2unless the TD needs to make a change due to weather/time issues. We will offer the 1-15 win by 2 as an alternative based on a case-by-case basis***
4 to 7 teams are games 1-15 win by 2 switch at 8. The top four teams move forward to the playoffs. 1 v 4 & 2 v 3: these are the “lead-in” matches that require a referee. Winners play each other for gold. Both non winners play for bronze in the same 1-15 win by 2 switch at 8 format.
8 or more teams are split into pools. The matches depend on the number of teams (see above). Only the top two from each pool move forward. It’s a crisscross playoff. Pool 1 1st team vs Pool 2 2nd team and at the same time Pool 1 2nd team vs Pool 2 1st team. Those games are 1-15 win by 2 switches at 8. Winners play each other for gold. Both non winners play for bronze in the same 1-15 win by 2 switches at 8 formats.
If any division has 15 teams or more, that will likely be broken into 3 or more pools. (I have many players are asking to play up to “fix” their rating… so no combined medals are awarded).
Only one medal per player per event. Medals are awarded based on how players played (not as entered).
