2017 East Coast Open Format

The 2017 East Coast Open will be played with 2 brackets of 2 teams. Teams

play cross bracket so everyone gets 2 bracket games and all 4 are ranked

together on record. In the case of tied records, who beat who will be used to

break a 2-way tie when two teams and only the two teams have played each

other, and USPA one man penalty shootout tiebreaker will be used to break

any ties on record between two teams who have not played each other OR

are in a 3-way tie or more, regardless of whether 2 of the teams in the three

way tie have played each other.

Semifinal pairings

Final scheduled for Sunday, September 10^th.
