🃏How Matches Work
  • All games are played on eCrib+ in the Special Events Lounge — no exceptions.
  • Matchups are randomly drawn. With an odd number of players, a bye is randomly drawn.
  • Table setup is automatic: Best of 7, cut for deal the first game, then loser deals, no watchers.
  • All tournament information can be found within the Special Events Lounge.
📅Scheduling
  • Round 1 begins January 9th, 2027. Each round must be finished within its Playing Schedule timeframe. If you can't commit to that, please reconsider signing up.
  • Both players are responsible for scheduling. Always reply to your opponent, even if you're busy.
  • Coordinate by email, text, private messages on eCrib+, or the built-in Scheduler in the Special Events Lounge.
  • Be flexible — your opponent may be in a different time zone.
  • In two-round weeks, play your first match early.
  • Finished early? If your next opponent is also done, you may start the next round right away.
  • Having trouble? Contact Jennifer (acc-icd@outlook.com) or JJx7Fan on eCrib+.

9. What is the start day/time?
