We had an interesting format for this event. Each table had a specially marked "Shamrock" ball. In the winners bracket each team could use the ball once per game if they chose so on their serve with a value of 2 goals to either team. In the elimination bracket, it was 1 game to 7 and each team could use the "Shamrock" ball twice.
