STARTING WEEK 4: WE WILL TRY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
-
NOT ONLY WILL THIS WILL ALLOW EVERYONE TO PLAY ONE MORE MATCH PER WEEK, IT WILL ALSO HELP SEPARATE THE LEAGUE BASED ON STANDINGS.
-
THERE ARE 4 SEPARATE "PODS" (SEE STANDINGS) WITH 5 PLAYERS IN EACH POD.
-
POD #1 WILL BE THE TOP RANKED PLAYERS, POD #2 WILL BE PLAYERS RANKED 6-10TH, AND SO ON.
-
EACH DAY PODS WILL HAVE 5 GAMES AGAINST EACH OTHER ROTATING PARTNERS AND 'BYES' FOR EACH GAME.
-
AFTER EACH WEEK, WINS AND LOSSES COUNT TOWARD STANDINGS AND ULTIMATELY DECIDE WHICH POD THE PLAYER PLAYS IN NEXT WEEK.
-
THIS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE FINAL WEEK WHEN WE START THE PLAYOFFS.




EVERY WEEK THE PARTNER/BYE FORMAT WITHIN THE PODS WILL STAY THE SAME
