Break with repool

Tie-breaking:	Since all teams advance to power pools, ties will not be decided by playing a set.
1.   If 2 teams from the same pool are tied, their head to head match point differential determines their order of finish.
2.   If 2 teams are still tied after point differential has been calculated, total point differential will determine order of finish.
3.   If 3 or more 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.

Pool Play format:	3 pools of 4 teams
		    
     Pool 1		     Pool 2	            Pool 3 	     
(1) 1st Pool A            (1) 1st Pool B	        (1) 2nd Pool A
(2) 3rd Pool B		(2) 3rd Pool A		(2) 2nd Pool B
(3) 4th Pool B		(3) 4th Pool A		(3) 5th Pool B
(4) 6th Pool A		(4) 6th Pool B		(4) 5th Pool A

Second Round Match order: [team in ( ) refs]
	
Match 1 1 vs. 3 (2)   Match 2 2 vs. 4 (1)     Match 3 1 vs. 4 (3)   
Match 4 2 vs. 3 (1)   Match 5 3 vs. 4 (2)     Match 6 1 vs. 2 (4)
	

For pools of 4 teams, the best of 3 sets will win matches. Each non deciding set will be won by the team that first scores 25 points with a minimum 2 point advantage (no scoring cap). If there is a deciding set, 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. A point will be scored on each rally. If the receiving team wins the rally, they score a point and gain the serve.  

On Saturday, teams will complete the first round of round robin play and Match 1 and 2 of pool play. The remaining matches of the second round (matches 3,4,5,6) and the single elimination tournament will take place on Sunday.

Tournament format: Overall game win/loss records will determine the order of finish for the gold tournament (top 8 teams) and the silver tournament (last 4 teams). Ties will be determined by (1)head to head play, (2) point differential in head to head play, (3) overall point differential, (4) coin flip.
