        ILLUSTRATIONS OF PARTICIPATION CONDITIONS 
    AFFECTING OVERALL POSITION IN    KNOCKOUT PLAY    When the team wins only one match.  The team does 
    not receive an overall    award; each player receives a match award pro 
    rata to his participation    in the match won.      For the following two tables, the following 
    conventions apply:    P denotes participation in that match (at least 
    50% of the boards of    that match).      Px denotes the boards played by a player in match 
    x, expressed in    percent.      All percentages exclude playoff boards.      WHEN THE TEAM WINS TWO MATCHES, LOSING IN THE 
    SEMI-FINALS.  THE TEAM'S    RANK = 3/4.

    rounds of 16 and 8 will go                     without repairings.    
    _____________________________________________________________________      48 to 64 TEAMS:  Same ideas as for 24 to 32 
    teams. (Qualify 32 teams for                     round two.)  Watch the middle 
    column of team numbers                     for even numbers of teams to be 
    sure that two team                     numbers in the same half of the 
    bracket (e.g., 29 and                     32) are not involved in a first 
    round match.      POSTING KNOCKOUT CONDITIONS OF CONTEST    There are a few Sectional and Regional Knockout 
    Team events held where    there are no written conditions of contest.  In 
    these situations,    conditions of contest must be posted and 
    announced no later than the    break for comparison of scores in the first match 
    played.                                          (Office 
    Policy - August 22, 1984)

        FORFEITS IN KO TEAMS    If two teams do not play the final (or 
    next-to-last) match, by    agreement, this is considered a double forfeit.  
    For example; the last    two surviving teams decide not to play - it is a 
    tie for 3/4.  Ribbon    qualifications will not be given.      If two teams agree to play, and one team doesn't 
    come, the team who's    there and pays their entry fee is the winner by 
    forfeit.  The other team    is ranked as described above.  (Feb 1992)      PROCEDURE TO CORRECT TEAMS IN WRONG BRACKET    This solution for fixing bracketing errors in 
    Bracketed KOs was worked    out during a supervisors meeting some time ago. 
    "Since we will be faced    with the occasional problem in this area 
    regardless of safeguards at the    Field Supervisor meeting we determined a policy 
    so we can all resolve    mistakes in the same way.       If the error is found in time to make some change 
    in the first round, do    so. Usually, however, the problem will be found 
    late in the first round    or after the first round. To help catch errors 
    while they are still    correctable, it is suggested that we adopt and 
    publicize to the players    the following procedure:       When selling, please inform each team 
    representative to check which    bracket his team is assigned to prior to going to 
    his table. The    directors should post a list of which tables are 
    assigned to each    bracket and the high and low bracket indicators 
    of each bracket near the    assignment rack.      However, if all these attempts to catch errors 
    fail:       THE TEAM'S FAULT: If the team is placed in too 
    low a bracket, the team is    disqualified. While you should exhibit some 
    compassion when a team makes    such an error, the bottom line is, "Sometimes 
    life is that way!" The    team that was beaten, if any, advances and is 
    given that match award by    forfeit.       OUR FAULT: If we place a team in too high a 
    bracket and they lose, they    are out. You should return their entry fee and 
    give them a free play to    a later event of their choice at the tournament 
    which the ACBL will    support. You can also arrange (with this office) 
    for a free play at an    upcoming NABC.       If we place a team in too low a bracket and they 
    win, the losing team    gets a forfeit win and the winning team is moved 
    to an appropriate    bracket as determined by the DIC for the second 
    round. The moved team's    new bracket will most likely be nine teams for 
    the second round. This    should now progress to six teams (three 
    head-to-heads) and then a    three-team round robin in the final. There will 
    be three distinct ranks    (1st, 2nd, 3rd) out of the finals and the three 
    losers of the semifinal    will be tied for 4/6. Only teams that have lost 
    one and tied one should    be awarded a 2/3 tie. Two teams in the finals 
    tied with a win and a tie    should continue with four boards to break the 
    tie. The normal playoffs    for 5/8 are not allowed because six teams from 
    that bracket will receive    gold points."

                                         ________________      SUGGESTED FORMAT WITH FEWER THAN EIGHT TEAMS    3 Teams   Two session Round Robin.  Top two teams 
    continue the 3rd              session with full carryover.  Cut to 
    two teams after 28-board              matches. The finals with full carryover 
    becomes a 56-board              match.  Ties are broken by IMP quotient 
    (total IMPs won              divided by total IMPs lost).    4 Teams   One session, 28-board semi-final. Two 
    sessions, 56-board              final.    5 Teams   One session Round Robin where the top 
    four teams (based on              victory points) continue with full 
    carryover.  One session              semi-final (1st place has a choice of 
    semifinal opponent) and              a one session final with full carryover 
    from the Round Robin.              First cut comes after the 7-board 
    matches; semi-finals are              28-board matches plus 7-boards from the 
    Round Robin; finals              are a 28-board match plus 7-boards from 
    the Round Robin.  Ties              are broken (1) total number of matches, 
    (2) head-to-head              results, (3) result against the highest 
    qualified team not              involved in the tie, (4) result against 
    the second highest              qualified team not involved in the tie, 
    etc.    6 Teams   One session Round Robin (two groups of 
    three teams - in a              seeded event, 1, 4, 5 = 1 group, 2, 3, 
    6 = 1 group). Top two              in each group continue with full 
    carryover.  First cut comes              after 14-board matches.  Semi-finals 
    are 28-board matches plus              the 7-board carryover from the Round 
    Robin.  Finals are a              28-board match.    7 Teams   Two head-to-head matches and 
    one-three-way match (two teams to              continue).  In a seeded event, 1, 4, 7 
    = 1 group.  The two              qualifiers from the three-way will 
    continue play in a 28-board              match for the semi-finals with full 
    carryover from the first              14 boards.  The winner of the 2 vs. 6 
    match and the 3 vs. 5              match play a 28-board match in the 
    semi-finals.  The finals              are a 28-board match.      HANDICAPPED    The formula for computing the handicap in 
    handicapped knockout team    games is N x Log10 [(40 + {L/2} + H)/(40 + {L * 
    3/2})]      where N = the number of boards per match          H = the average masterpoint holding of all 
    team members for the              team with more masterpoints per member          L = the average masterpoint holding of all 
    team members for the              team with fewer masterpoints per 
    member.      Upon written application management may approve 
    handicap events with a    different handicap formula.  (Board of Directors 
    - April, 1995)

    ==================================================      The two tables of each first-round match have 
    identical "Go To"      information.        This example generates a table of winners at an 
    even number.        Hold first-match 3-way tickets; give them out 
    when they report.  All      three 3-way tickets have the same "loser Go To" 
    since there is only one      loser.  The two advancing teams get assignments 
    written on their tickets      when they report.
