Format Information : (PSP Rules).
New for the 2013 season
we will be integrating an accelerated format for D3 and D4 match games (the use of the accelerated format may change from event to event depending on division bracket sizes and field availability at venues. Announcements will be made the Thursday before each event whether or not the accelerated format will be in use). Normally, only two teams play at once with a 2 minute beak after each point scored. To reduce the down time in-between points when nothing is going on, there will be another match going on simultaneously. How this is going to work: so let’s say we have Team A and Team B playing their first point, meanwhile, Team C and Team D are in their pits getting prepared. When Team A scores a point against Team B, Team C and Team D will now have 30 seconds to get to their start stations before game time starts. While Team C and Team D play, Team A and Team B will be getting ready in their pits to play their next point. A benefit is your team can potentially have longer than 2 minutes to get ready. In the rare occasion that a point gets over in 20 seconds, the two teams waiting to play their next point will receive a minute to get ready, plus an additional 30 seconds to make it to their start stations, so your team will still have plenty of time in-between points to be prepared to play another point.
Novice Division (D3) Raceto-4 is played in a match game format. Teams will have 12 minutes of game time to score up to 4 points against each other. The winning team is decided by whichever team scores 4 points first or which team has the most points at the end of game time.
Rookie Division (D4) Raceto-3 is played in a match game format. Teams will have 10 minutes of game time to score up to 3 points against each other. The winning team is decided by whichever team scores 3 points first or which team has the most points at the end of game time.
Beginner, Young Guns, and Pump Divisions will be played in a raceto-2 format with points not being back-to-back (i.e. other teams will have their games in between your team’s games).
