Points Series Rules
• We will track points for each player & post the up to date standings here:

We will award points based on the number of places paid out
1 place paid and 1 point for the winner in a division of 5 or less players
3 places paid and awarded points for a division with 6-9 players
1st = 3 points, 2nd = 2 points and 3rd = 1 point
5 places paid and awarded points for a division with 10+ players
1st place = 5 points, 2nd place = 4 points, 3rd place = 3 points, 4th place = 2 points and 5th place = 1 point
• Everyone gets 1 point for playing (you can accumulate up to 25 attendance points)
• Players will be moved into the appropriate division at week 10 and on a case by case basis after that
• Top 3 point earners in each division (or more) will win a cash prize at the end of the season. The season payouts will be a little lower this year to make way for more Bonanza prizes.
• Other ways to gain a point - hit an ace, win the skills challenge.
-----------------
A quick rundown of the changes this year:
Matt Steinberg has agreed to join the rotation of running league. Thanks Matt!
Courses/layouts will rotate on a schedule (ie: Hill only, General only or both in play. Hill layout will rotate as well once we install the new locks.)
Card assignments will rotate on a schedule as well (ie: pick your own or random. Whichever makes the most sense for the scheduled course/layout.)
We will add in some variety rounds (ie: two disc dilemma. These rounds won’t count for average but everything else stays the same.)
We will keep divisions as A/B/C/D but we are going to shift the averages that determine pool placement down a little as shown below. We will determine your average by raw score so that we can fairly move players divisionally
We want to encourage tag sales, so the system will not calculate points or raffle entries until you have purchased your tag.
We are adjusting the points awarded each night. The number of points earned will equal the number of places paid out See below for breakdown.
