Formats subject to change at Tournament Director discretion.

Venue closes at 1am. We plan to run the events as listed, but will adjust to faster formats if needed. Examples: 3/5 could become 2/3, 2/3 could become race to 10.

Adjustments will be made to group stages and lower ranked events first, and then to Knockout rounds only if needed.

The California State Champion title will go to the winners of Super Doubles and Super Singles. The playoffs are handicapped single elimination events. Each match is best 2/3, with each team playing to their handicap.

Example: if the winners of Open Doubles plays the winner of Rookie Doubles in the finals, the Open Doubles team must score 8 points to win a game, while the Rookies only need to score 4.

Playoff Bracket

Super Doubles or Singles Playoff Bracket

Round 1: Beginner vs Rookie, and Amateur vs Expert
Round 2: winners of Round 1
Round 3: winner of Round 2 vs Pro
Finals: winner of Round 3 vs Master

Multiple playoff berths: if a player qualifies for Super Doubles or Super Singles in multiple categories, they must play in the higher-ranking category. Example: if someone wins both Amateur Singles and Expert Singles, they will enter Super Singles as an Expert with a 6 point handicap.

Abandoned partners: if a player qualifies for Super Doubles in multiple categories, they must abandon their partner from the lower-ranked event. The abandoned partner is still in the playoffs: they can pick another registered player of the same rank or lower as their new partner.
