    • Draw = 1 point
    • Loss = 0 points
    • Playing in a pod = 1 additional point
  • Standings and pairings are based on total points earned, with tie-breakers for strength of schedule and win percentage.

Entry Prizes

We’ll distribute prizes nightly to winners as well as random door prizes based on attendance. Then at the end of the ten weeks we’ll have a playoff where you’ll have a chance to win even more prizes. Prizes are usually in the form of promotional cards and store gift cards. We’ll pay out at least 75% of all entry fees between nightly prizes and final prizes, so make sure and tell your friends to help us build an awesome prize pool.
