- We will try to schedule and play out either the Final 4 on the same day
**Teams get roughly 10 day windows to complete the match in each round, but it is encouraged to schedule the next round match if both teams have already been determined.
Overall Format:
- A double elimination bracket will be used. Each team will be guaranteed two games. Even if you lose your first match, you still have the ability to win the whole thing.
- Teams will be randomly assigned seeds for the opening round of the bracket.
- Each game will consist of a 16-frame doubles game, with players switching colors after frame 8. Shooting order will be YBBY.
- Lag, flip a coin or rock, paper, scissors to determine color.
- If the score is tied at the end of 16 frames, players will play an additional 2 frames until tie is broken. Remain on the same color as frame 16 for any additional frames.
- Do not start warming up before both teams are at the court.
- Each player may throw 4 practice discs before frame 1 and before frame 9.
- Once the game has been completed, the winning team continues in the bracket. If this is the losing team’s first loss, they will move to the lower bracket with a chance to reach the final. If this is the losing team’s second loss, they are eliminated.
- As we get into later round of the bracket, we’ll attempt to get all remaining teams to finish the bracket on the same day/evening
- Partner substitutions will not be allowed once the tournament has started.
Coaching:
-
Coaching is allowed similar to league night at Royal Palms. This is the FUN division and a chance to learn and improve your skills!
- Suggesting shots from across the court is fine, but no walking across to discuss shots/options.
- The first infraction will result in a warning. Any infraction after that point will result in a -10 point penalty.
