Each league night we will play 7 rounds each on a different machine in groups of 4 or 3.
Groups will be based on attendance.
Points will be given as follows for each game: 7 pts. for 1st, 5 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd and 1 for 4th (or 7,4,1 for a 3 person group).
A total of 49 points would be the maximum a player could achieve in a single night.
First round matches and games will be randomly drawn with the lowest ranked player choosing the order of play.
Order of play will be determined by the Match Play Software.
Subsequent round matches will be determined by overall total points- Swiss style.
Total up the points per league night for the season and that is your rank.
League points will be added together for each of the 6 months for year end prizes.
We will drop the 2 lowest score of the 6 tournaments in a series, so the highest 4 of the 6 scores will count in each series for the year.
Total points possible for one series 49 + 49 + 49 + 49 = 196
