The tournament will be a round-robin style with 4 games to collect points
- Each game is a single round
- Each win is worth one tournament point
At the end of 4 games, the two teams with the most tournament points will face off in a best of 3 game (first to two wins) final.
- Ties will be broken by the team with the least amount of game points the opposing teams scored against them over the course of the round-robin.
- A tie of game points will be determined by a coin flip

Trophy Distribution

The winning pair of the entire tournament will have their choice of the first trophy item
The runners up will choose the second trophy item
The third-place team will choose from the remaining trophy item after the first two are selected

All games will be played according to the rules listed at https://bicyclecards.com/how-to-play/euchre/#filter with the following additional rules & clarifications:

Canadian Loner
- If the partner of the dealer orders the dealer up (tells the dealer to “pick it up”) during the initial round of bidding that partner must go alone
NO Stick the Dealer
- If no trump is selected in the second round of bidding, the cards will be reshuffled and the deal will move to the next player
Second Round Bidding Rules
- In the second round of bidding, a player may not call trump of the suit of the card that was just turned down
- In the second round of bidding, a player may not call trump for a suit that is not currently in their hand
  - Note: The “left” of the proposed Trump suit DOES count as a suit of the proposed trump suit
No “Kitty/Draw Under” or “No Ace No Face No Face No Trump call”
