Senior Tournament Format:

We will follow a format similar to the ASAA Provincial Power Pool Format.  There will be three pools of 4 teams based on the latest Provincial Rankings and League/Tournament play.  If we have out of Province Teams, our Tournament Committee will be responsible for ranking the teams from 1 to 12.  Teams in each pool will play a 3 game round robin.  After the Round Robin, the 4th place team from Pool A and D will be ranked 5th and the 1st place team from Pool B and E will be ranked 4th.  The 4th place team in Pool B and E will be ranked 9th and the 1st place team in Pool C and F will be ranked 8th for the championship playoff round. Teams seeded 1 through 4 will get a bye to the championship round. There will be an eight team playoff qualifier for the rest of the teams (5th vs 12th, 6th vs 11th, 7th vs 10th, 8th vs 9th).   Winning teams will move to the A side championships.  Losing teams will move to play in a C side playoff draw.

Junior Tournament Format:

We will have two Pools of 4 teams.  Each team will play a round robin within their pool (3 games).  All teams will qualify for the playoff round. All placings in the playoff bracket will be played out.
