FRIDAY NIGHT - MAKE YOUR PLANS NOW!!! We will be inside playing the SWAP format - guaranteed 6 games.
This format is GREAT for all players - beginners to Pros
You will play 4 games of rounders with 4 different partners and based SOLEY on YOUR PPR (points per round) you will be placed into a double elimination blind draw bracket. And there is payout in BOTH brackets. So, all the newer players, YOU have a chance to win money. If we have more than 60 players, we will typically have three double elimination brackets.
Players love this format and it is great to see the improvement trajectory of new players JUST a year. There is no intimidation, there is no worry of letting your partner down. You will be playing with people who play similar to you in the bracket you end up in. This is a proven path to learning the game and improvement. This shows that the opportunity to play with the more advanced players in rounders and players near your play level in bracket play rapidly improves your game.
Anyone that has played this game in general will tell you that consistency is key, this format helps to provide that consistency. And let me tell you it is great to watch those beginner players improve and make it to the A bracket for the first time and then to see them win in the A bracket, it is why we do it!
There are nay sayers on the payout and I understand it, but the reality is this format provides a real opportunity to WIN money for players that most likely would not have the chance in a regular blind draw unless they draw one of the top 5 players on a particular given night and then that player has to worry about encountering a team containing two of the top ten players.
Additionally, this format STOPS sandbagging. There is zero benefit to sandbagging because the payout in the B bracket is only 30-35%. Imagine this, some directors do a switch where the lower PPRs go home, they are not moved to any bracket.
With all of this being said, this format is well thought out and it is fun. You get to meet new people because you are playing with at least 4 different players each time. It is a great opportunity to improve your game. If you are just there for the money, make the A bracket if the 30-35% in the B is not enough for you.
We are happy to show any player how to track their PPR during play and where they are ranking against all the other players.
We look forward to seeing everyone Friday night at Club 52. If you are a backyard player and/or on the fence about taking the next step to play in an event, this is the event for you.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need additional information.
