How Play and Tiering Works
There are 2 tiers each consisting of 6 teams.
After you have played all the teams in your tier the previous 2½ weeks the results will be tabulated and teams will be ranked 1 through 6 and 7 through 12 within the tier. The “Challenge Match” will take place.
The 1st Place will play the 2nd Place and so on down the line. This is to give all teams a chance to play/beat the team above you.
There will be a realignment and change of schedule every 3 weeks.
Please ensure that you have 2 email contacts to share this information with your team.
