Format Overview

Power pools promote competitive, out-of-region matchups. Single-elimination brackets on Sunday.

Pool Play

Each division uses 4 pools — two power pools and two regular pools. Seeding is based on team strength to promote balanced, competitive games.

Crossover Games

The bottom finishers from power pools play the top finishers from regular pools. Winners advance to the championship bracket.

Bracket Play

Single elimination brackets on Sunday. Top 8 play for the championship; remaining teams compete in a 9th-place bracket.

Schedule Notes

Game Timing

Games are played to a hard cap or soft cap per USAU rules. Round windows are approximately 2 hours to allow for warmups, spirit circles, and transition time.

Division Timing

Men's and Women's divisions play the early rounds (morning through early afternoon). Mixed division plays the later rounds. This is the opposite of the 2025 format.

Weather & Adjustments

In the event of weather delays or field conditions, the schedule may be adjusted. All updates will be communicated via Ultimate Tournament and on-site announcements.
