2. Single or double round robin available
   1. Single
      1. After all games are played top X number of players move up a group and the bottom X number of players move down. Players are reseeded based on their movement and ready for the next game day
   2. Double
      1. After all games are played top X number of players move up a group and the bottom X number of players move down. Players are reseeded based on their movement and the next round starts with players in new groups.
      2. After all games are played top X number of players move up a group and the bottom X number of players move down.Players are reseeded based on their movement and ready for the next game day
3. Factors that determine the movement up and down groups
   1. Total game wins for that game day (or round if you are doing a double round robin format)
   2. First tie-breaker: head-to-head games won. Who beat who more times when opposite one another.
   3. Second tie-breaker: point differential percentage of all games played. (((Total Points Earned – Total Points Against) / (Total Possible Points)) * 100)
   4. Third tie-breaker: the higher seed prior to starting gets the resulting higher seed

! Total Possible Points is based on the group they played in. Some groups may play 3 games and others may play 4 or 5 games. Their Possible Points would be higher than the person that played in a smaller group and had less possible points. The difference in group size is why we use “Point Differential Percentage” and not “Point Differential”

*This format also allows the League Director to impose penalties for missed game days.
