Ranking System
Competitors’ ranking points are allocated after every tournament, as follows:
- 10pts – not competed
- 8pts – competed, but not placed
- 3pts – 3rd place
- 2pts – 2nd place
- 1pt – 1st place
The points for each division are then totalled over the number of tournaments. The competitor having the lowest total is the top-ranked for that division.
