FORMAT

within their age divisions and play a round robin. If there is
only one pool, the first, second and third place winners will
be determined at the completion of the round robin (after any
ties are broken). If there is more than one pool, the first and
second place team/persons in each pool will advance to a
single elimination tournament. If entries are not conducive, a
double-elimination tournament will be played within the age
division.
2. Fourth place ribbons will be awarded in addition to Gold,
Silver and Bronze medals for Florida residents. Gold, Silver
and Bronze medals will be awarded to top overall athletes if
non-residents are in contention for medals.
