Round Robin Format
Each Team will play 3 round robin matches
Matches times are 45 minutes (5 minute warm-up | 40 minutes of play)
NOTE: match length was shortened in order to accommodate all the matches
Times will be strictly observed
Players/Teams arriving late will not be permitted a warm-up
1 game will be awarded to the other team for each 5 mins of lost playing time
Match ends when a team wins 8 games or when time expires (whichever is shorter)
Incomplete games at end of time will not count for either team
Team points
Players/Teams will receive 1 point for won game
Team that wins the match will receive and additional 1 point
If the set is tied at the end of time neither team is awarded an extra point
Any match that is forfeit - is automatically 5-0 for the opposition
Playoffs (Sunday afternoon)
Top team from each pool (based on total points) advances to the elimination playoffs (if two players are tied for points the head to head match will determine the winner)
Three wild card teams will will qualify for the playoffs
Wild cards will be awarded to the top point earning team(s) that did not win their pool
should there be a tie between teams, games for and against will be used, should this still be a tie we will flip a coin
Playoff matches will follow the same format as the round robin
should the score be tied at the end of regulation time, the incomplete game will not count and teams will play a 5 point tie break
Weather Policy
If the weather gets bad we may have to cancel the remainder of the tournament as it becomes too difficult and time consuming to reschedule for the third time.
If you are early, you are on time..
If you are on time, you are probably late.
If you are late, you are losing points
