The Rules:
-
Ladder is set up for 5 players per group.
-
5 player groups play 4 games to 11 win by 1.
-
4 players due to absence in the group play 3 games to 15 win by 1.
-
The Administrator has the right to add a sub if a proper skill level match is available.
-
Ladder logic we will use:
-
An automated software program will determine player rankings based on points earned. The system will adjust playing groups each week and track each players key statistics.
-
The logic followed will be for 5 person group, 2 high point players move up one group, 2 low point players move down one group, one middle player stays in same group.
-
For 4 player groups due to an absence. Same as above, however the absent player will be counted as one of the low players and will move down one level.
-
On game day if short a player allow 10 minutes from start time then play as 4.
-
Group sheets must be clearly documented and turned in after the match. Group must agree on scores before turning in the scoresheet, so please spend a minute after your match to have final consensus.
