Tournament Format
The Club Kids Classic will host 3 tournaments simultaneously: 1 for Beginner, 1 for Intermediate, and 1 for Advanced. Players will be placed in pools based on their rating declaration during registration.
Tournaments will follow the "river" format where players winning move up through the river, switch partners, and play again. Teams losing move down the river, split partners, and play again. Games will play to 11 points or rotate in 8 minutes, whichever comes first.
This dynamic play style ensures competitive balance and a continual chance to find wins. It also allows maximum social play.
