Final Standings – Overall Description

Final Standings

Double Elimination

1. Rank teams Gold, Silver, Bronze, 4th
2. Who got to the further round in the winner and loser brackets

• If a team got a first round bye AND lost the first match we do not count them as getting to “round 2” because we don’t want to show them as getting to round 2 from game play.

3. Number of match wins in the winner’s bracket
4. Number of match wins in the losers bracket
5. Match point differential percentage
6. All remaining ties will be marked as a tie for that standing

Single Elimination

1. Rank teams Gold, Silver, Bronze, 4th
2. Who got to the further round

• If a team got a first round bye AND lost the first match we do not count them as earning “round 2”

3. Number of match wins
4. Match point differential percentage
5. All remaining ties will be marked as a tie for that standing

Round Robin

1. If there is a playoff medal round AFTER the round robin play then rank all teams that made it to the playoff medal round first and then the teams that did not make the playoff medal round. See Double and Single Elimination above.
2. Match win percentage

• We use percentage because this could be a multi pool round robin. If pools are uneven then using a win percentage evens comparison and calculates correctly for even or uneven pools.

3. If there is only 1 pool for round robin play the next factor would be head to head record of the involved teams.

• If there are multiple pools then we do not calculate head to head on final standings because 3 teams could be tied, 2 teams were in the same pool and one of the teams would get a head to head win but the 3rd team would not have any head to head wins or losses because their team was not in the pool the other 2 played in.

4. Point differential percentage

• We use percentage because this could be a multi pool round robin. If pools are uneven then using a point differential percentage evens the comparison and calculates correctly for even or uneven pools.

5. All remaining ties will be marked as a tie for that standing

Additional Medals

This is calculated based on the ORIGINAL age bracket a team signed for. If a team has 2 players aged 60-64 and purposely sign up for a bracket with age 50-54 they will not get listed for additional medals in 60-64.

Furthermore this is also calculated based on the ORIGINAL skill bracket a team signed for. If a team has 2 players with a skill of 3.5 and purposely sign up for a 4.0 bracket they will not get listed for additional medals in 3.5.

Stats are calculated the same as the above descriptions except they are based on 5 or 10 year age splits (depending on the tournament setting for this event)

Manual Medal Assignments

For Merged Events, Tournament Directors have the option of assigning medals manually upon completion of the event instead of using the automatic five and ten year assignments. In that case, turn off the five and ten year assignment of medals in the event record and use the procedure outlined in the user manual to Manually Assign additional medals.
