Each team will have the 3 sheets to represent the three players on the team. Each team (referred to as Team A and Team B) will meet at the set of three tables (Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3) they are assigned to.
To determine who is Team A and who is Team B, a priority roll is used once each team is at the table. The winner becomes Team A.
Team A will choose one of their players and place their sheet face down on Table 1. Team B will choose one of their players and place their sheet face down on Table 3.
The sheets on Table 1 and Table 3 are revealed.
Team A will choose one of their remaining players and place them face-down on Table 3 and the last player on Table 2 face-down. Team B will choose one of their remaining players and place them face-down on Table 1 and the last player face-down on Table 2.
All remaining sheets are revealed and matches are played as normal.
