The tournament was an import-laden format, which allowed an import or a pure-foreign player for each team and with a height limit of 6-foot-5.

Format

The following format was observed for the duration of the conference:[1]

  • Single-round robin eliminations; 9 games per team; Teams are then seeded by basis on win-loss records.
  • The top six teams after the eliminations will advance to the semifinals. In case of a tie, a playoff will be held only for the #6 seed.
  • Semifinals will be a single round-robin affair with the remaining six teams. Results from the eliminations will be carried over. A playoff incentive for a finals berth will be given to the team that will win at least four of their five semifinal games that does not finish within the top two. In case of a tie, a playoff will be held only for the #2 seed.
  • The top two teams (or the #1 team and the winner of the playoff between team with at least 4 semifinal wins and the #2 team) will face each other in a best-of-seven championship series.

gollark: My server stuff probably *could* mostly run off a raspberry pi, but those have downsides and when I occasionally do want to do heavy computing it would be VERY IRRITATING.
gollark: I'm sure streaming services would *never* randomly pull content.
gollark: Meanwhile, you can fit probably several thousand movies in DVDish quality on a single high-capacity HDD these days.
gollark: Besides, with DVDs you have to physically *store* them and move them around and it's irritating.
gollark: Those are bad at transcoding and generally have slow storage.
