Format: Flip Frenzy for qualifying broken out into 2 sessions. Session 1 will go from 12pm to 1:30pm, and then we will break for 15 minutes. Session 2 of qualifying will go from 1:45pm to 3:15pm(no games will start after 3:15PM). Games will be played in head to head matches with a queue system. If 40 players in attendance, we will have 16 matches going at once with 8 players standing in queue. When a match ends and after reporting a win using the Matchplay Events software, Player 1 will will now become player 2 for the next match against the first player standing in queue, who will now become Player 1. Player 2 from the previous match then moves to the back queue. At the end of each match the winner gets (+1) point and the loser will get (-1) point. After 3 hours of qualifying the top 8 based on "net wins" will move on to the "A" division finals(finals format TBD). "Net Wins" is determined by the number of wins minus the number of losses. Tiebreakers will be decided by "most wins" and "fewest losses"
Finals: To be determined still. We will definitely have the top 8 moving on to the "A" finals, but still deciding on exact format as well as having multiple division finals.
