Women's Pro Bracket

The Women’s Pro Division will be using a slotted bracket similar to the Open Pro Division. With 12 teams in the bracket, this means that 4 teams will get a bye in the first round. To determine who gets the 4th bye, we are using a “wild card” system. A1, B1, and C1 will get automatic byes and then the 4th bye will be given to the next highest placing team from any pool. The slotted bracket will change based on which pool the wild card came from. The three options are listed below.

Option A

Option B

Option C
