Event Information

Teams will be assigned to one court for the entire weekend, with the goal to be the champion of their court. The tournament is double elimination, with a consolation bracket for teams that lose their first 2 games, guaranteeing each team at least 3 games throughout the weekend. If there are not enough teams assigned to your court to complete a double elimination bracket, that court will participate in pool play and then a single-elimination play-off. Teams are guaranteed 3 games regardless.

Teams will be bracketed to a court base on the information provided on their completed team entry form. The goal of the tournament is to have team of similar age, height, playing experience and desired competition level playing each other on a single court.

***Most participants will be in the standard division***
