Tournament Format:
Bracket 1: A, B, C - will play a round robin for 2 days. Scores will carry over from day 1 to day 2, winner advances to the final
**these matches are technically not round robins, rather they are 2 match games for each team over two playing days. Therefore match game rules apply. (ie handicaps will be based on a 4 chukker game)
Bracket 2/3: Teams draw for who they play on the first day (D vs E & F vs G), then the winner of Bracket 2 will play the loser of Bracket 3 and the loser of Bracket 2 will play the winner of Bracket 3.
Top 2 records advance to the round robin final against the Bracket 1 winner. In the case of tied records, we will have a shootout.

Tied Games
If teams end their game in a tie, then the tie will be broken with a shootout:

Tied Records:

In the case of elimination:
- If 2 teams have tied records and they did NOT play each other, then the tie is broken by a shootout.
- If 2 teams have tied records and they HAVE played each other, then the tie is broken by who beat who.
- If 3 or more teams have tied records, then the tie is broken by a shootout.

3. Lastly, the “shoot out” procedure set forth in USPA Outdoor Rule 14.d, if both net goals and gross goals are inconclusive
