Competition Format
- Each team will play five games over the six-day event
Standings will be kept over the first five days of the league according to a point system (described below)
Every team will play their fifth and final game against the opponent seeded most closely to them in the standings
For example, the two teams with the highest point totals will play in the Championship game; the teams with the third and fourth-highest point totals play in a third place game, etc.
Point System
Standings over the first six days of the league will be kept using an EIGHT-POINT SYSTEM. In this system, eight points are awarded each game and distributed as follows:
Four points for winning the game -One point for every quarter a team wins (in the event of a tied quarter, both teams will receive 0.5 points)
As a result, the winning team in each game can collect between five to eight points, while the losing team can collect from zero to three points.
Championship Seeding Criteria
- Championship seeding will be determined by a team’s total points in the league standings
In the event of a tie, the following tie-breaker steps will be in place:
Tiebreaker 1: Total point differential
Tiebreaker 2: Total points allowed
Tiebreaker 3: Coin flip
Note – Overall or head-to-head win/loss record will NOT impact championship day seeding. Seeding will be determined solely by the criteria above.
