The 18’s non-bid division may have pools in the AM wave and in the PM wave, both days.
Teams in the large divisions (14, 15, 16 and 17 American may play in a different wave on day 2 than they play in on day 1)
The AM waves all start at 8 am, the PM waves start at 2:30 PM or 3:00 PM unless otherwise noted on the playing schedule.
In the large divisions (over 88 teams, on the second day a challenge round will be played to make the playoffs for the 3rd day smaller and avoid that teams have to play 5 matches to win the championship on the last day). This may affect the 14 through 17 American divisions.
On the second day of competition, the American teams that are still in contention for the bids, will play their pools in the morning and a challenge match in the afternoon. The teams that can no longer win a bid after the first day of pool play, may be playing their second day pools in the afternoon, even if they played the first day in the morning wave.
18’s is a non-bid division that will play all three days.
