We will have Opening ceremony at ~10:15am, followed immediately by the beginning of the qualification rounds.  The qualifying rounds will finish in the early afternoon, after a short lunch break. Our goal is to finish all qualifying rounds no later than 2:30pm  – we need your help to make this happen.

Once qualifying matches are complete, we will hold alliance selection for each division.  We will have 4 Alliance Captains that will each select 2 partners.    Alliance Selection will be followed by a short break, and then the elimination rounds.

The end of the elimination rounds will be followed by the presentation of awards, and the closing ceremony.   We would really like to be all done by ~5:30pm but we need your help to do that.
