How are the games played?

• Special Rule: Curse of the Long Island Expressway Ball
  • The TO’s car broke down on the LIE, so as he waited for his tow truck he decided to collect rocks to be used as balls for the tournament. Little did he realize he was near a Sumatran Rat Monkey nest and the rocks were cursed!
  • A player with a Curse of the LIE Ball reduces their MA by 1 and applies -1 modifier to any Agility test they take while they are in possession of a Curse of the LIE Ball, as they begin to take on the characteristics of the legendary 495 traffic!

What is the format for the tournament?

The first round is determined by random pairings. Subsequent rounds will be Swiss pairings meaning that the two teams that will be playing each other will be of similar rankings. In the case that a coach would be paired with a coach they had already played against, the pairing will be broken up to face either up or down one or more ranks in order to ensure this doesn’t happen.

How do you determine the winner of the tournament?

Standings, and thus the winner of the tournament, will be determined by most points at the completion of the tournament. Ties will be broken by strength of schedule.

Scoring will go as follows: - Scoring: Win = 65, Tie = 25, Loss = 0

• Tie Breakers (if needed): Head-to-Head, TD difference, CAS difference, Team Value
