How does the point system work?
Points are awarded as follows:
| Placement | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| 1st | 150 |
| 2nd | 130 |
| 3rd | 120 |
| 4th | 110 |
| 5-8th | 100 |
| 9th | 90 |
| 10th | 75 |
| 11th | 65 |
| 12th | 60 |
| 13-16th | 50 |
| 17th | 40 |
| 18th | 30 |
| 19th | 25 |
| 20th | 20 |
| 21st-24th | 15 |
With 1-8 is Gold Bracket, 9-16 being Silver bracket, and 17-24 being Bronze bracket. Teams that do not make a bracket will be given 2 points for every set win and 1 point for every set loss. If a team has the same amount of set wins as the 24th place team but does not advance to a bracket due to tiebreaks, their score for the tournament will be 10 points.
Can I play with a pickup?
Sure! But in order for a team to receive points over the duration of the season, at least 3 of the 6 players on a team must stay the same.
I have a question that’s not answered here…
