-Rules
1. Only those who have reached a "podium" rank in an event will be awarded the highest points towards their overall score
2. 5 or more open level competitors must have competed to qualify your tier 3 or tier 4 tournament for that year. (This is so smaller
organizations don't host offbeat tournaments to boost their clubs overall score.)
3. Only 3 "Tier 3" or "Tier 4" competitions may be added to your overall score. The ones in which you placed the highest in will be
tallied. (This is so that areas that have less tournaments and jams through out the year will be counted as equals to areas that have more per year.)
4. On the day after Worlds each year the score will be reset and start over.
5. For a tournament to qualify, the tournament director OR associate there of MUST send me the results of the tournament
(Top 3 places for each circle and routines)
6. Women won't have the restrictions that men have. The point values will be the same. (Basically Wherever there is a women's event)
7. If you wish to see your overall data that has been compiled to calculate your score please pm me and i will gladly send it to you Smile
8. Only IFPA sanctioned events will be counted towards someones score.
9. In the event of a tying position like the example below, points will be given incrementally so that players are rewarded for tying not punished, and also the players below the tied group will also be rewarded

1. Tom Krus +300pts
2. Matt Damon +240pts
2. Hugh Jackman +240pts
4. Billy Madison +200pts
