A Few Tournament Notes....

A few notes for the new parents and players:

All matches will be best 2 out of 3 sets. Score will start at 0-0 and go to 25, but the winning team must win by 2 points, so it could go higher than 25. If each team wins one set, then the 3rd set is played to 15 and the teams change sides when one of the scores gets to 8.

The final match is best 3 out of 5 sets.

This is double elimination meaning that you must lose 2 matches to be eliminated from the competition. Lose once and you go to the bottom (losers) bracket and work your way back up. You can lose in the top bracket and still make it to the finals and still win the whole tournament.

In case you have trouble reading the brackets in the post below. The Brass team plays at 5PM on Court 2. If they win they play at 7PM andp if they lose they will play at 8PM.

Bronze team plays at 12PM (noon) on court 1. Win and they play at 4. Lose and they play at 6.

After each match you will need to check the schedule after each match to see when and where you play next. Also, if you lose you will probably ref the next match on the court where you just lost.

Remind your players that this is a game and we play for fun. They don't need to stress, they just need to relax, have fun and play.
