Event Format

The Women’s MoPac Club Nationals Playdown will be a Double Round Robin.  A Double Knockout Provision will be employed.  Any team with less than 2 losses will be eligible for a Tiebreak Game and no team can be eliminated until they have 2 losses.  Any team with 2 or more losses after the RR will be eliminated.  Should the 3 teams end up 2-2 after the DblRR, using the DKO Provision, one will be eliminated from a Tiebreak on DSC rankings and the remaining two teams will play for the Championship.  (DSC: avg of a team’s pre-draw Last Shot Draws for hammer, excluding their worst).

Should there be only one clear winner with less than 2 losses after the RR ‘and’ the remaining two teams are tied on record, they will play a Tiebreak to determine 2nd place in case an extra berth is awarded…otherwise, possible 2nd berth will be awarded to a clear 2nd place should those teams have different records.
