Twenty teams, drawn in one room.
Saturday, September 26 · 7:00pm – 9:00pm
The Club 315 Lounge, Calgary
A live draw, using numbered bingo balls in a machine. One ball out, one player placed, until all twenty teams are complete.
- 80 — forty men and forty women
- 20 teams of four, built by the draw
- Every team gets two men and two women
- Jones and Open, ten teams each
See it, not read it
One ball at a time, until the team exists.
This is the whole night, in miniature. A numbered ball comes out of the machine, that player joins the team being built, and the order repeats until all twenty teams are full.
- Pick 1 · Men Pool ATop ten by DUPR
- Pick 2 · Men Pool BNext ten by DUPR
- Pick 3 · Women Pool ATop ten by DUPR
- Pick 4 · Women Pool BNext ten by DUPR
Why no team can stack
Four pools per division. One player from each.
In each division, the twenty men are split into a top ten and a next ten by DUPR, and the twenty women the same. Every team is drawn one player from each of the four pools — so a balanced team is not a hope, it is the mechanism.
