*Championship format for both events.
Most would prefer double elim or swiss, but I am doing it for three reasons:
- When I run double BYP's, they seldom run smoothly because of conflicts, this will help get the second BYP going more quickly, hopefully allow all finalists in the first BYP to play in the second and get done on time.
- With World's in month using this format, it will be good practice for keeping in that mindset for those that attend.
- With a random seeding and CF, this allows for some big upsets and rewards the giant-slayers on the winners side! Knock a pro-team into the elim bracket and you won't see them in a rematch.
1st BYP: 3/5 Winners Side, 2/3 elim side
2nd Iron Man BYP: 2/3, 2/3 (for time reasons)
We will move to race to 10 on the loser's if need be after 11 pm.

**Beginner Friendly BYP**
(TD discretion on this handicap if you have a series on every rod, don't expect this handicap; if you've played in multiple large tournaments or for more than 2 years, don't expect this handicap.
It will be specified by the TD at event start.)
We will use the Appleton point spot handicapping system in the bring 3/5's to keep the games fun and competitive.
(Details available at the event)
- BYP matches will be given priority when the events are running concurrently
------------------------------------------
Tournament Formats:
Restricted Double Bring: The first bring is open, play with anyone. The Iron Man bring is restricted. If you played in the first bring you must play with a different partner (if you enter as a doubles team) than the first bring. No repeats.
This rule will be waived for beginners. If they'd prefer to play with their same partner, they can.
Iron Man BYP - For second bring, any player can choose to enter solo and face off against other doubles teams! Twice the winnings! If you are below expert you will also receive the make-it-take-it power-up from the back to welcome non-expert players to try their luck in that format. No other handicaps/incentives are given to the singles player.
Entry fee structure is posted above.
