as a two-session round robin qualifying four
teams to a KO. One- and two- bracket KOs
are handicapped.
* Round-Robin Teams are bracketed, typically
in groups of 7 teams (3 winning gold) or 9
teams (4 winning gold), with the top or bottom bracket possibly played as Swiss.
Unless noted otherwise:
* One-session open events, including side
series, are stratified 750/3000/3000+
* A/X strats: 5000/5000+
* Mid-Flight: 1500/3000 (no player over 3000)
* Gold Rush strats: 300/750 (gold points for
750 strat overalls and section tops)
* 49er and 499er games stratified at director's
discretion
