SEA 'Power ranks' + Show Spoiler +
New player ranking system - SEA 'Power ranks'
SEA Power Ranks is a working title for the process we shall use to determine seeding. We shall be allocting points for placing in each Masters Cup. These are then added to a players career total points to work out our tournament seeds. Masters Cup is one of, if not the toughest event in our region, so points will be given from 1st to 16th place to reward those who finish highly, but might just fall short of the 1st-3rd cash prizes. It also serves to reward regular participation.
Points break down
1st - 100 points
2nd- 60
3rd - 40
4th - 20
5th-8th - 10
9th-16th - 5
(300 points total for a standard Masters Cup)
-Double points shall be given for International editions.
Points for placing will start from the Masters Cup on Sunday Dec 16.
Seeding will run for 12 months, then reset. At the years conclusion we shall run a special edition for the top yearly ranked players.
