How the Mahalo Series Works
At the heart of the Mahalo Series is a Power Point System that rewards consistency and performance across each qualifier event. Every matchup matters, and every tournament plays a role in building momentum toward the ultimate showdown.
Power Point Breakdown:
- 1 Point – Participation
- 2 Points – Semi-Finals Appearance
- 3 Points – 2nd Place Finish

This system ensures that teams aren’t just playing for the weekend—they’re competing for long-term placement and the opportunity to earn their way to the top of the standings.
