The Point System
How do I earn points?
Play in ANY event at any of our designated tournaments
In our first season, only players competing in the Open or Moneyball divisions earned points. This season, everyone is eligible.
10 teams must be in the division to earn placement points
Everyone playing will earn points just for participating, so the more you play in, the more points you earn
You earn additional points based on how you finish in each division
You can earn points on a maximum of 14 events throughout the year-long series
Only your best 2 finishes in each leg will count toward your point total
If you play in 3 events, your best 2 finishes will count toward your points
The final two legs will be worth 1.5x the points as any other tournament in the Series!
