2010 Games Format
1. The 10 teams will be divided into 2 brackets of 5 teams each on the following considerations:
a. Based on 2009 team placing
b. 2 from Arkansas and 3 from Memphis area in each bracket to have equal travel for all teams.
c. The rankings are decided by how far a team went up the playoff ladder. JCC and LRCC are finalists so they get 1 and 2. CAM and CCC are semi-finalists so they get 3 and 4 and so on. BYCC is ranked 10th and not 9th for only reason of maintaining travel balance between the 2 groups

Further Description of Super Six Stage:
Let’s assume teams A,
B and C from group 1 go to Super 6 while teams X, Y and Z from group 2 go to
Super 6.
Each of these 6 teams
have had played with each other in previous round twice each. So teams A, B and
C will carry all the points that they earned in round robin against X, Y and Z.
Similarly X, Y and Z carry over points they earned against A,
B and C.
This is how teams will be placed into 2 groups in Super 6. They will be ranked by points that they earn in round 1.
