Qualifying Format
At the basic level a Max Match Play tournaments works by creating as many matches as possible. As soon as matches finish the TD or a scorekeeper can create new matches based on the players who are available to play. Rinse and repeat until all players have played the number of matches required.


If there are fewer matches to play than a round robin (like 10 players, 5 matches) then players will face a new opponent every match as long as possible. Priority will be on opponents who are available just like a Flip Frenzy you'll just play someone who doesn't happen to be playing. In some cases it’s not going to be possible to provide a new opponent for every player towards the end of the tournament and players will have repeat opponents β€” the more players and the more matches played the less likely this scenario becomes.


If there are exactly the right number of matches for a round robin (like 10 players, 9 matches) then a round robin will be played. Each player will play every other player exactly once.


If there is a remainder of matches, that is the number of matches is larger than needed for a round robin but not enough for a double round robin (like 10 players, 14 matches) then the process is different. First players will play a round robin but for the remainder games players will get balanced opponents, but with a priority to availability. So if there are only two players in the waiting room and both players have already completed the round robin then those two players will always be paired with each other no matter how many times they have played against each other previously.


Finals Format
Top 8 after qualifying will be grouped into groups of 4. Seeding will be 1/3/5/8 and 2/4/6/7.


Semi-Finals will be ONE round of Matchplay with PAPA style scoring (4/2/1/0) with top two in each group moving on. Top seed will receive either choice of game or position, if they defer game choice, then the choice of game or position will move to the 2nd highest seed and so forth.


Finals will be THREE rounds of matchplay with PAPA style scoring (4/2/1/0). Top seed will receive either choice of game or position, if they defer game choice, then the choice of game or position will move to the 2nd highest seed and so forth.
