Tournament format:	All teams advance. After Round #2 all teams must be ranked within their pools based on match percentage first. For any ties, use the tie-breaking procedure below.   

Tie-breaking: Since all teams advance to playoffs, ties will not be decided by playing a set.
1. If 2 teams from the same pool are tied, their head to head match determines their
order of finish.
2. If 3 teams from the same pool are tied after match and set % and point differential
have been calculated, a coin flip will determine their order of finish.

1st and 2nd place teams in Pools AA, BB, CC and Best 3rdPlace and 2ndBest 3rdPlace from Pools AA, BB, CC will play in the Gold tournament.

The 3rdBest 3rdPlace team and the fourth place teams from Pool AA, BB, CC and the first place teams and second place from Pool DD and EE will play in the Silver tournament.  

The 3rdPlace and 4thPlace teams from Pool DD and EE will play in the Bronze tournament.  Playoff positions on the tournament brackets will be based on pool finish.  Awards to first, second in Gold Division.
	


Clubs with multiple teams entered will be pooled, to the best of our ability, so as not to assign teams from the same club on the same net.
