Tournament Rules
Triple Crown is not a sanctioning body, but in several events will follow basic ASA/USA rules with one modification. This modification relates to the playing lineup.
Triple Crown allows the use of an EP/EH and the DP/Flex in the same lineup, if your team chooses to use this option.
