Preliminary Group Stage & Playoffs
The preliminary group stage round of play will consist of three games for each team, 2 games on Saturday and 1 game on Sunday. After the preliminary round concludes on Sunday, playoffs will take place for some groups.
Playoffs will consist of 1 final championship game for groups of 6 or 8 teams, with the top two teams from each bracket meeting in the final. For groups of 12 or more, there will be two semi-finals followed by a final, with the top 4 seeded teams based on tie-breakers meeting in the semi-finals.
