Perfect Ten

Perfect Ten: Cappy Gagnon created this format and assigns teams. Each player is given an internal point ranking (1-4) based upon ability and ACBL points; then teams of four are created so that the total for each team is 10 points. This insures that none of the teams has an advantage by stacking with all "4" level players. This game is played in the Swiss Team format.
