WINTER SEASON 2024-2025 FORMAT, PLEASE READ, LOTS OF CHANGES!!
Doors open at 5:45p, bags fly at 6:30p.
Knockout starts at 6:30p sharp, $5.
We will run a switcholio format which is getting a different partner every round for 4 rounds to determine a seeding order based off Win/Loss Point Diff. This format is great for all level players from beginner to Pro. No partner is needed with this format.
From that we will pick a random partner matching method to start a Double Elimination Tournament.
If we have 26 or fewer players we will do one tier with the following dice roll matchup options based off Win/Loss Point Diff:
1/6 - Random top to bottom (Ghost to Top)
2 - Top of top to top of bottom (Ghost to Center)
3 - Top to bottom (Ghost to Center)
4 - School Yard Top Player picks first (Ghost to Top)
5 - School Yard Lower Player of Top picks first (Ghost to Bottom)
If we have 27 or more players we will do multiple tiers with the following dice roll matchup options based off PPR: (If there is a Ghost it will always go to the bottom Tier)
1/6 - Random top to bottom (Ghost to Top)
2/5 - Top of top to top of bottom (Ghost to Center)
3/4 - Top to bottom (Ghost to Center)
