All teams will start out in a pool of 4, with teams playing 3 pool play games before being re-pooled into Gold, Silver, and Bronze.
GOLD - Each pool winner (#1 Seeds) will be split into 1 of 2 (College World Series like) 4 team pods. Playing a modified Double Elimination Tournament to Crown the Champion. All gold ABC games will play the gold ABC extra inning rule (1st extra inning = California, 2nd extra inning = Texas). See Bullpen rules for questions regarding the extra inning rules.
SILVER - All #2 Seeds and the top 4 #3 Seeds (12 total) will be placed in a Silver Pool, where they will play 2 more pool play games. The 4 pool winners from these re-seeded pools will play in a single elimination tournament to crown the Silver Champ.
BRONZE - Due to weather, the bronze format has been changed to a single elimination championship bracket instead of re-pools. If teams lose their first bronze bracket game and want an additional consolation game, please contact us ASAP.
NOTE: All of the re-seeded pool winners that are advancing to the bracket will be seeded based on all 5 games!
