The teams in each conference will meet and compete in a team tournament to determine which team will move on to the finale competition. The way to win the tournament is to be the last team standing. To begin the competition, the teams will be split up evenly between three tables. Two players from each team will be seated at the opposite sides of each table. The three 10-handed tables will play independently until there are 10 players left, who then combine to one table. Once the final table is set, play resumes, and the team with the last player standing is the winner.
