Open Division:
Just like last year and the years before, here is how the Open Division will work: Players will play head to head in a bracket style tournament. Two opponents at a time will face each other and draw tricks from a stack of cards. Taking turns, the first player to lace the trick gets a point. First to 3 points wins! But, theres a catch this year… Although we have 33 tricks for the Open Division in total, the stack you will be choosing from will only contain 11 of those tricks at any time. We will be changing the stack throughout the competition to spice things up! GOOD LUCK & START PRACTICING!
