CHECKING IN
You will be greeted by a Treasure House volunteer who will ask for your name to check in your team. The volunteer will direct you to the tournament director if any changes need to be made to your team (names, phone numbers, team assignments). You will also receive a text message approximately an hour before the tournament starts. Please follow the prompts in that message to check in. This lets us know that we have your mobile number correct so that you will receive notifications throughout the tournament. See the tournament director if you do not receive a check in text message. All event participants and spectators will need to check in with the Treasure House volunteers.
[We will need at least one mobile number for each team so that you can receive event notifications during the event. We will NOT use this mobile number after the event is over]

TEXT MESSAGE NOTIFICATIONS
If you have submitted a valid mobile number you will receive text message notifications when your scheduled game is ready to play. You will be given a court number to play on. Please go to your assigned court when you are called. If you are going to get food/drink or use the restroom when your game is called then let one of the tournament directors or your opponent know so that we don’t forfeit your game. If we don’t hear from you within 5 minutes of your game being called you may be forfeited so that we can keep the event running efficiently.
POSITIONING
In Doubles (team play) events, you will position yourself next to one board and your partner will line up directly across from you on the other board. You can flip a coin/spin a bag/rock-paper-scissors to decide who lines up on which side and who throws first. Once you decide, you will stay on that side for the entire game. Same goes for your teammate. Boards are positioned at the regulation distance of 27 feet apart (some events prefer the boards to be closer) from front to front of each board. At the request of the event organizers, the distance between boards may be lessened.

THROWING
You and your opponent alternate throws until all bags have been thrown. The team that scored last goes first on the next round. Prior to the start of your game, it is common to do a “Down and Back”, which means that each side throws an un-scored practice round before starting the game.
SCORING
Bags that are on the board are worth 1pt and bags in the hole are worth 3pts. We use cancellation scoring meaning that after all bags have been thrown, you count up the number of points on each side and then subtract the scores to determine which team earns points. Only one team can earn points per round. For example: if you have 3 bags on the board and 1 bag in the hole (6pts) and I have 1 bag on the board and 1 bag in the hole (4pts), you would be awarded 2pts (6-4=2). Please use the score towers at each lane.
WINNER
The winner of the game is the first team to 21 or over after the round has finished. There is no skunk rule and no rule that you have to hit 21 exactly. Winning team should report to the scoring table when the game has finished.
FORMAT
You will compete in a TWO-STAGE event. STAGE 1: Round Robin. Your team will play 3 games against different opponents. The results will be tracked on the dashboard that was either emailed or texted to you prior to the start of the event. STAGE 2: Elimination Round. The top portion of the teams will advance to a Competitive single elimination bracket and will be seeded based on the results from STAGE 1. The bottom portion of the teams will advance to a Casual single elimination bracket and will be seeded based on the results from STAGE 1.
