FORMAT:
ACL Rounders is a Progressive Round Robin format where all teams are put in a pool. 6 rounds will be played by each team. The first-round opponents will be random. For each round after the first, teams will be matched up against another team with the same (or similar) record. 1-0 teams will play 1-0 teams. 3-1 teams will play 3-1 teams, or similar. After the 6th round, teams will be divided into 4 groups (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4). Players will receive their doubles bracket after rounders which will tell them which level they made it into. The 4 pools of each Level will be put in either 2 or 4 double elimination brackets for Singles depending on the number of entrants (see start times above). Doubles will be double elimination brackets, 2 or 4 brackets per Level depending on the number of entrants (see start times above). All games will be played to 21 (except crew cup which will be 10 rounds.). Teams will be divided into 4 groups based on rounders record first, point differential second and total points third.
REGISTRATION:
Early registration will open for ACL Platinum members on Friday May 14th at 2pm CST. If there are open spots after the Platinum Early Bird Registration period, general registration will open to everyone a week later on Friday May 21st. Registration will remain open until Monday June 21st, or until it sells out.
If you want to partner with a certain individual, you both will need to: 1) Register individually into Open Singles to secure your spot. 2) Then one of you must also register for Open Doubles and sign up with your desired partner. Those who only sign up for Open Singles will get paired with another random partner. Those who only sign up for Open Doubles and do not pay for Open Singles will be removed from registration.
For example, if Peter is a platinum player and he registers during the early bird registration, but his partner, Brad who is not a platinum member doesn’t get to register because the event sold out, Peter will have to find a partner who did get registered. It is highly recommended that you purchase a platinum membership to access the early bird registration as this event may sell out quickly. There will NOT be a wait list. Once it is sold out, it is closed. If spots open due to no-shows, we MAY allow walk up registrations on a first come, first served basis.
There will be a limit of 512 players that can attend this Open with a maximum of 128 ACL Pro’s allowed to participate in the Open.
