12.C.2. medal/third place and are eliminated after
12.C.3. a second loss. The final two players or
teams in the winners bracket play for the
gold/first-place and silver/second-place
medals.

Double Elimination. The first player or
team to score the match-winning point by
at least a 2-point margin wins. A loss will
put the loser into the losers bracket. The
winner of the losers bracket will play the
winner of the winners bracket for the
championship. If the winner of the losers
bracket defeats the winner of the winners
bracket, then a tie-breaker match to 15
points must be played.

Round Robin. All players or teams play
each other. Games may use any of the
approved tournament scoring options (see
12.B). The winner is determined based on
number of matches won. If two or more
teams are tied:

First tie-breaker: head-to-head matches
won.

Second tie-breaker: point differential of all
games played. (Example: Team A won
Match 1 11-8, 11-4, so they would have a
point differential of +10. Team A then wins
the second match 11-9, 2-11, 11-6. For
this round, they would have a point
differential of -2. This would give them a
total for the day of +8.)
