North vs. South Redraft

Turf Wars

North VS South

Draft Your Teams. Win For Your House. Take The Championships.

No more random. This time each House builds its own teams in a live, in-person draft — and those teams play together all night long. Three pool play games are worth a point to your House for every win, and the night ends with Championship games between each House’s top seeds.

Who Owns The Rivalry?

North Wins 1.5
South Wins 1

While the North may have had the edge in Tuesday's event, the real score will be settled on Friday!

What’s New

No More Random

This time, you build the teams.

In past Turf Wars, players were scrambled into new teams for every matchup. Not this time. North and South each run their own draft from their own pool of players, building five teams per House. Those teams stay together for the entire night.

  • Five North teams. Five South teams. Every team is drafted by its own House.
  • Same team all night. Build chemistry from the first pitch to the final out.
  • Three pool play games, +1 for every win. Every team, every game, puts points on the board for its House.
  • Championship games to finish. Each House’s top three seeds meet head to head for the biggest points of the night.
How It Works

Draft. Play. Seed. Win.

1

The Draft · 6PM

Each House drafts its five teams, live and in person.

2

Pool Play · 7, 8 & 9PM

Three games against the other House. Every win is +1 for your House.

3

Get Seeded

Each House seeds its five teams 1–5 from their pool play results.

4

Championships · 10PM

#1 vs. #1, #2 vs. #2 and #3 vs. #3 for +10, +5 and +3.

3 Game Guarantee.

Every team plays all three pool play games. The top three seeds from each House play a fourth game in the Championships.

The Draft

Live, In Person, 6PM

Two Houses. Two draft rooms. Ten teams.

Players and coaches from the North gather together to draft their five teams. The South does the same, separately. Each House drafts only from its own pool of players, so the teams you see across the field were built by the other House’s own plan.

North Draft Drafts 5 teams
N1 N2 N3 N4 N5
South Draft Drafts 5 teams
S1 S2 S3 S4 S5

A whole new layer of strategy.

Fifteen pool play wins are up for grabs, and every one is worth a point. Then each House’s #1, #2 and #3 seeds play for +10, +5 and +3. So how do you build your five teams?

Plan A

Stack The Top

Load up a couple of powerhouse teams that rack up pool play wins and go after the +10 #1 vs. #1 Championship.

The catch: your thinner teams may give away pool play points in every game they play.

OR
Plan B

Spread The Talent

Build five evenly matched teams that can win any game and collect pool play points all night long.

The catch: a stacked team from the other House could be waiting in the Championships.

Your House. Your call.

Whatever you decide, the other House is making its own plan in the other room — and you will not know what they built until the first pitch at 7PM.

Pool Play

Three Games. Every Win Counts.

+1 to your House for every pool play win.

Every team plays three pool play games, each against a different team from the other House. That is 15 games and 15 House points before the Championships even start.

D1–D5 are the five fields. N1 is North Team 1, S1 is South Team 1, and so on.

After pool play, each House seeds its own five teams 1 through 5 based on their pool play results. The top three seeds from each House move on to the Championships.

10PM · Championships

Best Of The North vs. Best Of The South

Three Championship games. Every one pays the House.

Each House’s top three seeds meet their match from the other side: #1 vs. #1, #2 vs. #2 and #3 vs. #3.

The Championships

Where Your Seed Takes You

Championship 1 Top Seeds · #1 vs. #1
10PM · D1 North #1 South #1
+10To The Winner’s House
Championship 2 #2 vs. #2
10PM · D2 North #2 South #2
+5To The Winner’s House
Championship 3 #3 vs. #3
10PM · D3 North #3 South #3
+3To The Winner’s House

North #1 is the North’s top seed after pool play, South #1 is the South’s top seed, and so on. Seeds #4 and #5 finish their night after pool play — and every pool play win they earned is already on the board.

Quick Answers

Good To Know

Will I play on the same team all night?

Yes. Your House drafts its teams at 6PM, and you play every game of the night with the team you were drafted to.

Who do we play in pool play?

Three different teams from the other House. For example, North Team 1 plays South Team 1 at 7PM, South Team 2 at 8PM and South Team 3 at 9PM.

Do pool play games count?

Yes. Every pool play win is worth +1 to your House, and the results also decide your seed for the Championships.

Who plays in the Championships?

After pool play, each House seeds its five teams 1 through 5. The #1 seeds meet for +10, the #2 seeds for +5 and the #3 seeds for +3.

How many games are guaranteed?

Three. Every team plays all three pool play games, and the top three seeds from each House play a fourth in the Championships.
