"KOB/QOB is not about finding who the best player is, it is about finding who the best teammate is..."
Tuesday, 8/13
KOB (King of the Beach)
QOB (Queen of the Beach)
Formats:
Standard
Pool play followed by bracket play. Pools of 4 play a single game to 21 with everyone in their pool, pools of 5 play a single game to 17 with everyone in their pool.* Seeding is done and bracket rank is established by Wins/Losses then Point Differential. Bracket pools play the same as pool play.
Speed
Games are "Best of # points". So pools of 4 would play best of 15 points. IE game score would look like 8-7, 10-5, 15-0. Pools of 5 would play best of 11 points.

This is a "No Hands" KOB - Standard format. No hand setting is allowed. Everything else remains as if it were a Standard KOB.
*All ties are broken with the standard KOB tie breaker.
The tie breaker is played with maximum of 8 rallies between the two tied players, taking into account all possibilities of side and partnerships. Only the tied players take turns serving the ball. Assuming Players A and B are tied, with C and D not tied, the combinations are:
1. A+C vs B+D (player A serves)
2. A+C vs B+D (player B serves)
3. A+D vs B+C (player A serves)
4. A+D vs B+C (player B serves)
Change sides, and repeat.
If a player reaches 5 points, they have won, and the tie is broken.
