WATERFALL SYSTEM
Draws will be limited to 32 players per age division. Each division
that has 24 or more players will be split into two separate draws.
Players will then be "waterfalled" into two balanced draws based on the
selection lists in the following order: Red:
1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16,17,20,21,24,25,28,29,32. White:
2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31. Selections will be made
using the latest NC Standings . Seeds will be determined
using NCTA Seeding Criteria after the waterfall is done. The format is
FIC (Feed-In Consolation through QF). All matches will play a 10-point
match tiebreaker instead of a full 3rd set. There will be a playoff for
3rd and 4th place. Consolation finals will NOT be played out. Both players who reach the finals of consolation will receive the same number of ranking points. Events
with 8-23 players will play a regular 32 draw with byes and will play a
Feed-In (through Quarterfinals) and there will be a playoff for 3rd and
