After Round 10, everyone gets a seed based on win %. Ties go to point difference, then points scored.

Play the finals
From 8:40, everyone plays on. Seeds 1–12 chase the Head Chef title, while seeds 13–20 battle for placement. It all builds to the Championship: first to 15, win by 2, no clock.

QF26 & 11vs7 & 10

House rules

Round robin scoring: 10 minutes per game, then a 2-minute changeover. First to 11, win by 2, or whoever’s ahead when time’s called. Tied at the buzzer? One sudden-death rally decides it.
Seeding: after Round 10, players are seeded by Win % → Point Differential → Points For → Head-to-Head → Head-to-Head Differential → Fewest Points Conceded.
Playoffs: Seeds 1–4 go straight to the semifinals. Seeds 5–12 play the quarterfinals in pairs (5 & 12 v 8 & 9, 6 & 11 v 7 & 10). The winning pair splits up: in SF1, seed 1 partners the lower-seeded QF1 winner against seed 4 and the higher-seeded QF1 winner. SF2 works the same way, with seeds 2 and 3 and the QF2 winners. QF losers play for 5th, and SF losers play for 3rd.
Placement games: Seeds 13–20 each play one Battle for placement game at 8:40 (13 & 20 v 16 & 17, 14 & 19 v 15 & 18). It counts toward the all-time leaderboard.
Playoff scoring: quarterfinals, semifinals, Battle for 5th and placement games are first to 11, win by 2, or whoever’s ahead at 10 minutes. The Battle for 3rd is first to 11, win by 2 (switch ends at 6). The Championship is first to 15, win by 2 (switch ends at 8). Neither has a clock.
Subs: if someone needs to sit out because they’re injured, unwell or just need a breather, anyone resting that round can step in. Just let the scorekeeper know.
