The FAST Nationals are a 7 game minimum with the following format. 

The Nationals are based on pool play brackets of 6 teams for 5 games in pool. You play all teams in your pool to be seeded into a double elimination bracket. Every effort will be made to have different states in each pool so that teams will not play "backyard" teams.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday are pool play days. Two of those days will be two games back to back or with one time slot in between games. One day will be one game early in the am and then team is done for the day. A total of 5 games are played in Pool Play. 

Details of Seeding Format

Teams are seeded out of pool play in the following manner, example is based on a 36 team tournament; all first place teams from pool will be compared together to become ranked in the championship rounds as 1 through 6; second place pool teams will be 7 through 12; third place pool teams will be ranked 13-18, etc.

Pool play seeds teams into championship bracket. 

Thursday AM will start the Double Elimination Championship rounds. Friday is the first day that teams are eliminated.
