CSI Group Play format – TEAMS PLAY UP TO 4-5 MATCHES MINIMUM
Most team divisions will use the CSI Group Play format (the Elite Platinum Team division format will vary). Stage 1 is a group stage and Stage 2 is a single elimination final bracket. In Stage 1, teams are randomly drawn into 5 separate matches*, each consisting of 16-racks for 4-player teams. By decision of the AMOW, if your team does not complete Stage 1, then all team members may be suspended from AMOW events indefinitely. The teams that perform the best advance to Stage 2. All matches are handicapped using FargoRate. See the “Teams” section of this player guide for more detail.
*Excluding factors beyond the control of AMOW such as forfeits, drop-out teams, no-shows, byes, etc

Format Change for All Divisions
We want to have the opportunity to play in as many divisions as possible. To do that efficiently, it is important to complete one division before the next one begins. The end of a double elimination bracket takes too much time to complete for just a small number of people, causes match conflict, delays, and frustration for everyone. For example, when there are only four people remaining, it can take eight more hours to finish. To accommodate the growth of the event and still provide everyone the opportunity to play in multiple divisions, the format of all divisions will be slightly modified. The format will be double elimination down to the prize money rounds and then switch to single elimination. This will still allow plenty of play for everyone while also completing the divisions in a timely manner.
