- This will be round robin format - Each team would play against each team in their category (Team A1-A6), teams are assigned at random - 30-pointer games (Only 1), Changes sides as soon as any team reaches 15 point mark - As soon as your game finishes, leave the court and write down your final score on the scoring card sheet (would be at/near the main entrance) - The team who won the most games would win for this category. In case of a tie, we would have one final 20/30 pointer game to decide the winner, If there is no time then the winner would be decided based on the sum of all score differences from their previous 3 games. I.e if a team won by 21-14 then they won by 7 points, we would add all the score differences together to find the winner (we would only see the last 3 games) INTERMEDIATE CATEGORY GAMES (Plays on Court 3,4,5,6) - There will be 2 groups in intermediate. Group IA (Team IA 1-5) and IB (Team IA 6-10) - Each team would play against each team in their group (Group IA and IB), teams are assigned at random - 20-pointer games (Only 1), Changes sides as soon as any team reaches 10 point mark - As soon as your game finishes, leave the court and write down your final score on the scoring card sheet (would be at/near the main entrance) - The top two teams from each group (4 teams) would compete against each team in a round-robin format (Each team would play against the other top 3 teams) - The team who won the most games would win in their category. In case of a tie, the winner would be decided based on the point system (the sum of score differences for the last 3 games). I.e if a team won by 21-14 then they won by 7 points, we would add all the score differences together to find the winner (we would only see the last 3 games)
