PanAm Circuit

Championship Point System

Tournament Points

First place in each division at every major tournament is worth 100 tournament points. The points for second place, third place, etc. will be determined by dividing 100 points by the number of teams within the division. As an example: If there were 25 teams in the Rookie division, then second place would be worth 96 and third would get 92 tournament points. If there were 11 teams in the Amateur division, then second place would be worth 91 and third would be 82 tournament points. Fractions are rounded to the nearest whole number.

Participation Points

Attending minor affiliated events earns a team participation points. Whether a team refs or plays in an affiliated event, and whether the team finishes in first or last place, each minor event is worth 25 participation points.

The maximum participation points a team can accumulate are 75. A team may attend more than three minor events on the circuit, but only 75 participation points will be factored into their overall circuit total. Teams who cross ref major events (i.e. 5-player team ref'ing a 10-player event) earn 75 participation points.

Refereeing Points

Ref’ing at a major tournament earns a team 100 points (the same as finishing in 1^st place) for that particular tournament. A 5-player team may ref at a 5-player major event only once per season (10-player team at only one 10-player event). A team cannot earn tournament points and ref’ing points at the same event. Teams who cross ref major events (i.e. 5-player team ref'ing a 10-player event) earn 75 participation points. Points may be deducted for substandard ref’ing performances.

Circuit Championship Points

Overall Circuit points in 5- and 10-player divisions are based on attending all the major events. A perfect score in 10-player is 375. A perfect score in 5-player is 475. The overall championship points for both Young Gun and Stock Gun divisions will be based on points earned at the season finale, plus points from two additional tournaments.

Transferring Points

Points earned by a team at a 5-player or a 10-player major tournament cannot be transferred to another team, to another division, nor from a 5-player to a 10-player event. A team's name as well as the points it accumulates are considered by the PanAm staff to be the property of the team captain whose name appears on the entry form.
