Teams will play a minimum of 10 matches over the course of two days. All matches will be two out of three sets to 25, with the third set to 15. No caps, and teams must win by two.
After the second round of pool play, teams will be slowly “filtered” to pair teams with teams of the same caliber. This allows teams two rounds to “establish” themselves before being filtered to divisions within the divisions.
