Men’s Doubles Age 65 and Older playing this Sunday!

Final Update:
Ok, we have 10 teams!

Robert Jack and Tyrone White will team up and Gary Jones and Michael Ciaravini have joined the fray as the 10th team.

We’ll have 2 brackets of 5 where 5 games will be played and one team will sit for each of the 5 games. Top 2 teams from each bracket will progress to play in the 2 game single elimination finals. Top teams will be determined by Wins, Head-to-Head wins in a tie, and then Total Points and Points Differential.

See everyone on Sunday!
———————————————————————–
There are 9 teams presently signed up. I’d like to get to 10! Robert Jack and Tyrone White will be teamed up, leaving them the odd team out. Gary Jones can play and if we can find him a partner, then we’ll have 10.
 
If we can get a 10th team, we’ll divide the group into 2 brackets of 5, where each team will play each other once and also sit once across 5 round robin games. The top 2 teams from each bracket would then meet for 2 more games each to determine the medals. Placement will be determined by wins, head-to-head results in a tie, then total points, and points differential.
 
In the case where we cannot field a 10th team, the options are:
  1. Place the last team paired up on the sub/wait list and the first 8 teams split into 2 brackets of 4, each bracket playing 3 round robin games and the top 2 finishers in each bracket proceeding to a second (final) series of round robin games to determine the medalists.
  2. Do a full round robin with the 8 teams, each playing 7 games. Medalists determined by Wins, Head-to-Head result in case of a tie, followed by Total Points and Points Differential.
My preference is for Option 2 but I can be swayed to Option 1 (one less game for those proceeding to the second round robin).  Please talk it over with your teammates as to which option you prefer and let me know by tomorrow. Even better, find a partner for Gary to play with!

Here is the roster, randomized in the eventuality that I split the group into 2 brackets (I will split the teams of Robert and Tyrone and Gary and ??? should he get a partner).
