How the champion is decided: the Smash Rule
- Days 1 and 2: normal scoring, with placement points plus 1 point per elimination.
- The target: after Match 12, the target is the leader’s total plus 10 points. If the leader has 110, the target is 120.
- Day 3: a team that reaches the target becomes Match Point Eligible. The first eligible team to win a chicken dinner in a later match is champion. A chicken dinner in the same match in which a team reaches the target does not count.
- Fallback: if no eligible team wins a chicken dinner by Match 18, the team with the most points is champion.
