Each season of the league runs for 8 weeks + 1 week for playoffs. For the first 4 weeks you are placed into a group of 3 or 4 players and compete for score to see who places 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. You are assigned points based on how you place. You play 5 games each week. Each week your group will change based on current point total, as you will be placed into a group with roughly the same point total. At the end of 4 weeks we take the total points from your top 3 weeks during those 4 weeks and that determines how you are placed into a division (note: selecting the top 3 weeks out of 4 allows for you to miss a week without drastically affecting your point total). For the final 4 weeks, competition is just within your division. We then take the top 3 weeks point totals from those weeks to determine who makes the playoffs. Roughly 1/2 of the players from each division will qualify for the playoffs. The playoffs normally occur the next week after the final week of the season.
