  • Promotion and Cumulative Scoring
    For rounds one, quarter finals and play offs, the cumulative score of each round played by a pair, irrespective of how many matches they won or lost, will be used to calculate promotion or elimination. If two pairs in the same group are tied, a championship tie break (e.g. 10-8) will be played to decide who is promoted.
