As a result, the event delivers both casual and competitive options while maintaining a festive spirit.
- Round Robin Format – Every team plays a minimum of 3 games.
- Rally Scoring – Fast-paced and exciting! Every rally counts, and games are played to 15. In other words, every point feels like Halloween candy: sweet and worth chasing.
