3. During each round, players will play two games against their opponent, one as white and one as black.

5. Players will earn 1 point for every win, 0.5 points for a draw, and 0 for a loss (a player can earn up to 2 points for their team during a match).
6. The team that has the most points after all the games have been played wins the match. If one team already has enough points to win the match before all games have been played, the rest of the games should still be played for tiebreak purposes.
7. Game notation is not required.
8. Games are not USCF-rated.
