FOUR teams:
1) Each team plays three games, round robin. After the third game (Saturday morning), the teams are ranked by points, using tiebreakers if necessary. The first place team becomes team A, the second place team B, the third place team C, and the fourth place team D.
2) The semifinal games on Saturday afternoon are A (home) vs D and B (home) vs C.
3) The championship game on Sunday is the winner of A vs D (home) vs the winner of B vs C. The loser of B vs C (home) plays the loser of A vs D for 3rd and 4th place.

FIVE teams:
1) The teams play four pool games, round robin. After the last pool game (Saturday afternoon), the teams are ranked by point total, using tiebreaker rules if necessary. The first place team becomes team A, and so forth down to team E.
2) Team A (home) plays B on Sunday for the championship. Team C (home) plays D for 3rd and 4th place. Team E does not have a fifth game.

SIX teams:
The teams play a 5-game round robin, after which they are ranked by point total. There is no bracket play: the winner of the round robin is the champion.

EIGHT teams:
1) The teams are divided into two pools of four teams for pool play, three games round robin. At the conclusion of pool play (Saturday morning), the teams in each pool are ranked according to point total, using tiebreaker rules if necessary.
2) The first place team with more points becomes team A, and the other first place team is B. The second place team from A's pool is C, and the second place team from B's pool is D. This ensures that the semifinal games involve teams from different pools. Teams A through D comprise bracket 1 and play for the championship.
3) The third place team with more points becomes team E, and the other third place team becomes F. The fourth place team from E's pool is G, and the fourth place team from F's pool is H. Teams E through H comprise bracket 2 and play for 5th through 8th place.
4) Semifinal bracket games (Saturday afternoon) are A vs D, B vs C, E vs H and F vs G, with the home team listed first.
5) Final bracket games (Sunday) are the winner of A vs D (home) against the winner of B vs C for the championship;
the loser of B vs C (home) against the loser of A vs D for 3rd and 4th place;
the winner of E vs H (home) against the winner of F vs G for 5th and 6th place;
and the loser of F vs G (home) against the loser of E vs H for 7th and 8th place.

TEN teams:
1) The teams are divided into two pools of five teams for pool play, four games round robin. At the conclusion of pool play (Saturday afternoon), the teams in each pool are ranked according to point total, using tiebreaker rules if necessary.
2) The first place team with more points becomes team A, and the other first place team is B. The second place team with more points becomes team C, and the other second place team becomes D, and so forth down to I and J.
3) Team A (home) plays team B for the championship on Sunday. Team C (home) plays D for 3rd and 4th place. Team E (home) plays F for 5th and 6th place. Team G (home) plays H for 7th and 8th place. Team I (home) plays J for 9th and 10th place.

TWELVE teams:
1) The teams are divided into three pools of four teams for pool play, three games round robin. At the conclusion of pool play (Saturday morning), the teams in each pool are ranked according to point total, using tiebreaker rules if necessary.
2) The three pool winners and the second place team with most points become teams A through D. They comprise bracket 1 and play for the championship. Team A is the pool winner with the most points, and team B is the pool winner with the second most points. Normally team C is the third best pool winner and team D is the "wild card" second place team, but if this scheme would produce a semifinal game between two teams from the same pool (either A vs D or B vs C), then SWITCH C AND D to prevent this from happening.
3) The other two second place teams become E and F, and the top two third place teams become G and H. These teams form bracket 2 and play for 5th through 8th places. As above, if the normal assignment would produce a semifinal game between teams from the same pool (either E vs H or F vs G), then SWITCH G AND H.
4) The worst third place team becomes team I. The three fourth place teams are J, K and L, ranked by points. These four teams comprise bracket 3 and play for 9th through 12th place. As above, if the normal assignment would produce a semifinal game between teams from the same pool (either I vs L or J vs K), then SWITCH K AND L.
5) The bracket semifinals on Saturday afternoon are A vs D, B vs C, E vs H, F vs G, I vs L and J vs K, with the home team listed first.
6) The bracket finals on Sunday are winner vs winner for the top two places in the bracket, and loser vs loser for the bottom two places. Teams A, D, E, H, I and L are the home team if they won on Saturday afternoon, the away team if they lost. Teams B, C, F, G, J and K are the away team if they won on Saturday afternoon, the home team if they won.

SIXTEEN teams:
1) The teams are divided into four pools of four teams for pool play, three games round robin. At the conclusion of pool play (Saturday morning), the teams in each pool are ranked according to point total, using tiebreaker rules if necessary.
2) The four first place teams become teams A through D. The team with the most points is team A, the next best team is team B, and so forth. These four teams form bracket 1 and play for the championship.
3) The four second place teams become teams E through H similarly. They comprise bracket 2 and play for 5th through 8th place. Likewise, the four third place teams become I through L, bracket 3, playing for 9th through 12th place, and the four fourth place teams become M through P, bracket 4, playing for 13th through 16th place.
4) The bracket semifinal games on Saturday afternoon are A vs D, B vs C, E vs H, F vs G, I vs L, J vs K, M vs P and N vs O, with the home team listed first.
5) The bracket finals on Sunday are winner vs winner for the top two places in the bracket, and loser vs loser for the bottom two places.
