Playoff Info and Format
The 1st and 2nd Place teams in ALL DIVISIONS (except Men's and Women's Open) advance to the CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYOFFS, while the 3rd and 4th Place teams advance to the CONSOLATION PLAYOFFS.

5-team pools will be played on TWO COURTS, and the 5th Place teams will retire for the day. Divisions with two 3-Team Pools will play "Cross Pool" format, in which the teams in one pool play the teams in the other pool, but count records vs the teams within their pool. 3-Team "Cross Pools" will be played on TWO COURTS, with the 1st and 2nd place teams advancing to the Championship Playoffs while the 3rd place team advancing to the Consolation Playoffs.

The #1 Seed in each pool is responsible for returning that court's COMPLETED POOL SHEET to the headquarters area. If you have any questions, please ask a tournament official.

After your pool is completed, find the location of your playoff match (or Challenge Match for the Open Divisions) on the PLAYOFF BRACKETS for your division. Please move to that court and be ready to play your match as soon as your opponent arrives.
 
Playoffs - Playoffs - 1 game to 25 (no cap).
Time and Daylight permitting, we will possibly make the semi finals and finals in each Division, play 2 out of 3 games.
If so, the first two games will be to 21 (no cap) and the third one game to 15 (no cap).

After your match is completed, the winning team needs to report the result in the Headquarters Area (or on the Tournament Brackets posted near your playoff courts).

Because the courts are spread out this year, a separate HEADQUARTERS tent will be used across the road near Holes #6, 7 and 8. Teams in Men's A and BB, and Women's A and BB should report their results to this Headquarters tent.

Note the ROUND NUMBER indicated for your playoff match. This will indicate if you are the first or second playoff match on your court. All playoff matches have been assigned a court, so please follow the playoff brackets and play on the assigned courts.,

Due to this year's layout, we will be moving all SEMIFINALS AND DIVISIONAL FINALS to courts closer to the Headquarters Area on the Driving Range and Holes #1 and #9. Please note the court assignments for your divisions Semifinals and Final matches. This will help us with court takedown and will allow everyone to be closer to the “action”.

The 1st Place team advances to the CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYOFFS, while the 4th Place team advances to the CONSOLATION PLAYOFFS. The 2nd and 3rd Place teams will play one CHALLENGE ROUND MATCH vs a 2nd or 3rd Place team from another pool. The CHALLENGE MATCH WINNERS advance to the CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYOFFS, while the losers advance to the CONSOLATION PLAYOFFS.
