Everyone plays at least 4 matches: 3 pool-play matches plus at least 1 championship-bracket match. Pool games are rally scoring to 15; bracket games are to 25. Win by 2 either way. The Ref column is who calls that match — in pool play a team from the other pool referees, and in the bracket the team that just lost picks up the whistle.

Championship Bracket

All 8 teams advance. Pool results seed the bracket #1 through #8. The winning team crowns 2 Backyard Ballers champions.
