If there is a deciding game, it will be won by the team that first scores 15 points with a minimum 2-point advantage (no scoring cap). Change sides when a team earns 8 points.

All teams must be ranked within their pools based on match percentage first. For any ties, use the tie-breaking procedure below. All first-place and second-place teams to the Gold playoffs. All third-place and fourth-place teams to the Silver playoffs. Playoff positions on the tournament brackets will be based on pool finish to avoid teams from the same pool playing each other in the first round. Pool A 1, 8, 9, 14 Pool B 2, 7, 10, 13 Pool C 3, 6, 11 Pool D 4, 5, 12 Since all teams advance to playoffs, ties will not be decided by playing a game. 1. If 2 teams from the same pool are tied, their head-to-head match determines order of finish. 2. If 3 teams from the same pool are tied after match and game % and point differential have been calculated, a coin flip will determine their order of finish. 6 Games Games Games Games Ohio Valley Region, Inc.
