Competition Notes: (updated 6/18)
Given the distribution of teams among the divisions and the limited time to run larger double elimination tournaments at the end of the week, we are building on processes we have used in the past to fairly seed the tournament and provide a reasonable amount of quizzing for all teams.
We have strong registration in Senior Teen Veteran A division this year. Fifteen teams will have a full round robin and double elimination tournament. In Senior Teen Rookie and Young Teen Veteran A we have seven and eight teams respectively registered in each division. This will allow a double-round robin (each team will quiz all other teams twice) and culminate in a normal double elimination tournament.
We have 20 or more teams registered in both Senion Teen Veteran B and Young Teen Veteran B. As we have done in the past, only the top sixteen teams after the round robin will advance to the double elimination tournament in each of these two divisions. We will divide each of these two larger divisions into two balanced subdivisions. Teams will quiz all of the other teams within their subdivision and a specific number of teams outside of their subdivision. The rounds outside of a team's subdivision are important, and will be used in tie-breaking situations. What will be slightly different this year is that for the double elimination tournament, we will combine the teams from both divisions that don't make the sixteen team cut into a single consolation division. This division will have both senior teen and young teen teams competing among themselves on the tournament day.
Within Young Teen Rookie we have exactly 16 teams registered total between A and B. These teams will be combined into a single YTR division (no distinction between A and B) for both the round robin and double elimination tournament.
Round Double Elim.
