Sand Volleyball and Tug-of-War Scoring

For Sand Volleyball and Tug-of-War, where tournament brackets are used, team places will be determined at the conclusion of the competition. All teams losing in the first round of Tug- of-War will be awarded a fixed number of points depending on whether the team wins or loses its consolation match/tug. The number of points will be an average of all points available to teams similarly situated, i.e. one or two losses. For Sand Volleyball and teams winning in the first round of Tug-of-War will be awarded a final number of points based on the success of the team by which it was defeated. Working back through the brackets, based on the final results, teams will be awarded points. For example, in a 4 team tournament, 3rd place is awarded to the team that loses to the eventual winner.
