Wisconsin Schedule Updated

by Jake Kopitzke

Howdy, 

We have released an updated schedule for this weekend (8/10/24-8/11/24) due to having a last minute sign up in our Silver/Bronze division. Among some changes to the schedule itself, it is important to note that the round robin structure is now different for Silver/Bronze. Gold division will still have 3 round robin games and 1 playoff game. Silver'Bronze will have 4 round robin games, no guaranteed playoff. Both division will have a 4 game guarantee. Gold playoffs will see 1v4 and 2v3 semifinals. While Silver/Bronze will have the 1st place team after round robin receive a buy to the championship and  the 2nd and 3rd seeds will face each other in the semis.
