If an overall sectional winner is to be determined, the captains will vote for one of the two following options Option one: Option two: The section with the greatest number of individual matches won throughout the entire competition will be named the overall sectional winner. The section with the greatest number of team matches won throughout the entire competition will be named the overall sectional winner. Note: 1) Team(s) receiving a bye will receive the average number of individual points won that they have earned in the entire competition (for the bye round) 2) In the event a team defaults an entire team match, the opposing team will receive 5 individual points (35s, 45s, 55s, 65s) or 3 points (75s, 80s) LINE-UP AND DRAW A roster shall be submitted by the section for each team in each age category represented.
