Fall 2005 ZCSQ Tournament Format   


ZCSQ players will be randomly divided into groups of 7 to 10 players, as the numbers permit it.  The Directors may re-size the brackets depending on entries, to evenly distribute the players.   The number of entries that will make up the ZCSQ will be determined by the number of entries submitted and the closest number that will evenly distribute the players into brackets. All remaining entries will be placed on a replacement list and will be prioritized according to the order they submitted their entry.
Public dice rolls will be used to randomly distribute the field into the brackets. 
  • Each player will play every other player in their bracket.  Points will depend on the round being played.
  • The winner will post the result within 24 hrs. of match completion
  • Either player may submit the dice log for analysis.
  • After the First Round the Brackets will be divided into Winners Brackets and Elimination Brackets.
  • After the Second Round, the top two Players from each Winners Bracket will qualify for the ZCS.
  • In the First Round only Tie breakers will be decided on head to head competition.

      b.      Second, if necessary, by who won over the other player.

  • The cumulative record of wins and losses in the current and previous round(s)
  • An elimination or round robin playoff, depending upon the number of tied players.
