Tournament Options:
The team debated on whether should
we pick our own partner or pick in random (by lots) or go with Group A / Group B option. Group A / Group B option won the
vote.
Group A and B:
All 30 players were split into two
Groups - Group A and Group B. (15 on each side). More experienced players were selected in Group A and (somewhat) less experienced
were selected in Group B. The selection was based on previous years' performance and results and co-players' review
:)
Team Partners Selection:
The partners were selected
randomly by picking one player from Group A and one from Group B.
First Round:
Out of the 15 Teams, opponents were again
selected at random. In total we have 7 matches for the first round and 1 team has a bye (direct entry to Second Round).
If we get two more members' participation, the 8th team would play against the new team and get qualified for the 2nd round.
And Now the Groups:
