The trouble at (A) Tour 2 was that the soft cap was 15, and the hard cap 17 but the "notes" section of the schedule seemed to have been re-written from when the soft cap was 13 and the hard cap 15 and not all of the examples were changed correctly.
The hard cap example should have read: "Hard Cap: Games always finish if one team reaches the hard cap, regardless of whether there is a two point margin. The hooter causes the hard cap to be reduced to two above the highest score at the end of that point. For example, if the hooter goes during the 13-13 point, the hard cap will be reduced to 16 (as the score after that point will be 14-13), so the final score will either be 15-13 (game to 15, win by 2 still applies), 16-14, or 16-15 (from 15-15 - hard cap reached). If the hard cap is set at 17 in a game which is 15-14, the game can still be won 16-14 under the win-by-two rule."
