2: Pool Play
This 5 team, 30 player tournament, included 10 rounds of pool play (each team plays 4 matches of 2 sets totaling 8 games played). In this type of tournament only the top 3 teams advance to the playoff bracket! No teams had been eliminated from playoff contention until the VERY last set of round 10. If "Nothing But Net" had swept "Lousy Tippers" there would've been a 3 way tie for 3rd place! The Pool Play results were: 5th: "Chew-Blockah's" 3-5 record with a -15 point diff
4th: "Hidden Volley Ranch" 3-5 record with a +10 point diff
3rd: "Lousy Tippers" went 4-4 record with a -9 point diff
2nd: "Block Party" went 4-4 record with a -3 point diff
1st: "Nothing But Net" went 6-2 record with a +17 point diff
Note: "Block Party" finished pool play 2nd over "Lousy Tippers" due to a larger margin of victory in their splitting of their head-to-head pool pool play match
