HOW DRAWS ARE DIVIDED INTO RED AND WHITE
To SEED this tournament the Texas Selection List is used dated 9/13/12. While round robins are not routinely SEEDED, it is done so we may place the appropriate players in the correct draw using the WAVE method. Players ranked 1, 4, 5, and 8 are in RED draws while players ranked 2, 3, 6, and 7 are in WHITE draws. If an event is not full (7 players instead of 8 selected) the RED draws will play only 2 matches to determine the advancing player. In events with only 5 teams/participants, one Round Robin will be used. Players/Teams in a 5 player/team RR need to anticipate two matches on Friday (early morning start), two matches on Saturday and the last match on "SUNDAY".
