NT Event
Points System
To compete for the Ledgestone Cup you must play a minimum of 4 series events. Here is the points system, subject to change BEFORE the start of the first series event:
Each tier in the series will work off a sliding scale to determine the points. Here is point system:
B Tier - 100 points
Tier and NT - 200 points
First Place Bonus - 10 points
Here is how you get points: you divide the number of points available in the tier by the number of players in that division to determine the spread between finishes in the tier. To determine the spread we will always round down. An example can best illustrate this:
If you have 11 players in a division for a B tier, the spread will be 9 points per player. So first place would get 100 points, second place would get 91 points, third place would get 82 points, fourth place 73 points, fifth place would get 64 points, etc. In addition. first place would get their respective bonus. In the event of a tie you simply take an average of the points for the places and give everyone who tied the same number of points. You would then skip down to where the next place would finish to give them the appropriate number of points. So in our previous example, if second and third place tied, they would each get 86.5 points and then fourth place would still get 73 points.
