Pool Play
Pool play will consist of all teams playing every other team in their pool once. Pools will be made by the SRA with the intention of having even pools based on rankings and past tournament results.
Bracket Play
Teams will be seeded in a bracket based on the pool play results. Each division will have its own bracket. Brackets will have a maximum of 32 teams so some divisions will have two brackets if necessary.
