Winning the Game:
The team with the most points wins the match and advances in the tournament to the next round of play.
The tournament continues until one winner per night of promotion is crowned the “best-in-the-bar champion,” or, as stated in the rules, a first round winner. (The number of “best-in-bar champions” will be determined by the number of promotions executed. For example: one bar hosts a tournament five times, five “best-in-bar champions” will be crowned, with each champion advancing to the next stage, the Local Tournament). These champions will then meet for the Local Tournament showdown, ending with a single “local champion.” Each wholesaler “local team champion” will advance to Las Vegas to compete in the national finals of the Shoot For The Championship presented by Bud Light!
