Bracket Formats
With the goal of providing players with a good amount of play, our tournaments always start with a round robin. Depending on the bracket size, there may or may not be playoffs.
1-3 Teams
With a very small number of teams, you may be rolled-into a larger pool (with higher or lower skilled players) for the round robin. Placement would be based only on matches played against others in your bracket.
4-6 Teams
We'll begin with a round robin, and then go into playoffs. Seeds 1&2 play for gold/silver, while seeds 3&4 play for bronze (2/3 to 11 by 2).
7-8 Teams
You'll play a single round robin, with no playoffs. This means you'll play 7 games; one against each other team.
9-13 Teams
Teams will be randomly split into 2 pools. You'll play a round robin within your pool, then the top two from each pool will enter semifinals (1 game to 15 by 22) & finals (2/3 games to 11 by 2).
14-16 Teams
Tournament management will do their best to split the teams into two pools based on skill, then each pool will proceed as with the 7-8 team bracket listed above.
