Competition Format
In keeping with the philosophy of the Iowa

format. No scores or standings will be kept, and all participants will receive
a medal. This division will play for 30 minutes with line changes signaled

within this division.
Scoring
Medal winners in each division will be
based on win-loss-tie record (i.e. 2 points per win, 0 points per loss, 1 point
for a tie). If a tie exists after all games, then it will be broken by an
additional set of criteria that will be given with the rule adaptations.

successful only through the efforts of its volunteers. Each team is
required to provide qualified individuals to assist with announcing and
scorekeeping while their team is playing.
Rules
