GATA Nationals Prep Tournament - April 2022 (16 Teams)

Since we qualified for Nationals, we were also invited to this prep tournament. One problem is that several of our players could only make it for part of the day and some couldn't make it at all. For example, Matt was only available in the morning, Adhav in the afternoon, and Grady not at all.

Format: Prelims and then a rebracket. This is the best format, that most tournaments should use. Rebracket rewards you for doing well in the prelims, but everyone gets to play competitive matches in the afternoon, and one unlucky loss in the playoffs doesn't eliminate you.
Negs: Yes
Bouncebacks: No
Note: These are also timed rounds, to simulate nationals.
