Seed Points:
4Play series Seed Points System, teams will earn seed points based on number of teams participating in each tournament round. Seed point will accumulate for each event that the team competes in. Teams must retain the same team name and at least 2 players from the previous round to retain 4Play Series seed points. The number of teams participating at each tournament round determines 4play Series Seed Points. The 1st place team at the end of the prelims will earn 1 point for each team at that tournament of the series. Each subsequent place will earn one point less.
For example 12 Teams attend: Placing after preliminary Rounds Seed Points 1st Place 12 points 2nd Place 11 points 3rd Place 10 points 4th Place 9 points 5th Place 8 points 6th Place 7 points 7th Place 6 points 8th Place 5 points 9th Place 4 points 10th Place 3 points 11th Place 2 points 12th Place 1 points
For example 8 Teams attend: Placing after preliminary Rounds Seed Points 1st Place 8 points 2nd Place 7 points 3rd Place 6 points 4th Place 5 points 5th Place 4 points 6th Place 3 points 7th Place 2 points 8th Place 1 points
The top 4 teams play off in round robin finials against the 3 other Finalist teams, playing each team once. Scores are totaled at the end of the 3 rounds of the finials to determine the finial places. Handicap system is active for the finials. Team’s finial places receive additional seed points as shown below.
Final placing Seed Points 1st Place 5 points 2nd Place 3 points 3rd Place 2 points 4th Place 1 points
For example If team Dirt Bags finish the prelims in 3rd place and there are 18 teams, and they then go on to win the tournament in the finials. The Dirt Bags would earn
16 seed points from their prelim 3rd place +
5 seed points from their 1st place in the finials
Earning them a total of
21 seed points from that tournament
Game Scoring:
Game Scoring Points
Eliminated Player 10 Each Flag Grab 20 Awarded only once per team per game Flag Hang 40 Lost Player -1 Deducted for each player lost from team**
**After handicap has been applied teams will deduct 1 (one) point for each player from there team eliminated during that game.
End of game points are added up then Handicap system applied. Level 1 Full scoring points Level 2 2.5% deduction per Grade 2 player on field for that game Level 3 7.5% deduction per Grade 3 player on field for that game Level 4 12.5% deduction per Grade 3 player on field for that game For example Team Fudge Packers have taken to the field with 2 x level 3 players, 1 x level 2 player and 1 x level 1 player. The Fudge Packers win the game with a grab and a hang eliminate all the other team and lose 2 players. Fudge Packers earn 20 points for the grab 40 points for the hang and 40 points for the 4 eliminations Giving them 100 points for the game then the handicap is applied
2 x level 3 players @ 7.5% = 15% 1 x level 2 player and @ 2.5% = 7.5% 1 x level 1 player @ Nil Team Handicap = 22.5% Game points 100 less 22.5% (22.5 points) =77.5 Team score is always rounded up after handicap if a .5 occurs resulting in the Fudge packers earning a score of 78 points from the game. At this point the lost player penalty is applied. Fudge Packers lost 2 players which will affect their score as 78 points less 2 x lost players @ 1 point each (2 points) = game score of 76 points. With the handicap system in place a team of 4 level 3 players would need to win twice to match a team of 4 x Level 1 players, and a team of 4 x level 2 players would need to win 1.5 games to match a team of 4 x Level 1 players winning 1 game. This in effect gives the newer players a fighting chance to keep pace with the more experienced teams in the Prelims round to hopefully earning a place in the finials.
