TOURNAMENT RULES Membership All communication and signups are held on the Players' Championship forum. The only monetary requirement is to purchase your required number of teams. Qualifying Events The tournament will consist of Five (5) Qualifying Events that will be used to rank managers. Every manager must play in at least four of the tournament Events to be eligible to compete in the Semi-Finals round and Champions League. The rankings will be based on each manager's cumulative score. If you have played all five events, your lowest event score will be dropped, and then a 5 point bonus will be added to your overall total. If you only play in four of the events, you will not be eligible to drop your lowest event score, or receive the 5 point bonus. Event 5 - Unique ballparks, 1-round player draft Event 5 this year will have a unique ballpark restriction, enforced by a forums-based draft, as well as a 1-round player draft. The draft order will be based on Event 1 standings. More details will be announced as Event 5 gets closer. Semi-Finals round After all 5 Events are completed, the top 36 ranked tournament managers will play in 3 leagues of 12 teams each in the Semi-Finals round. The 12 teams that qualify for the playoffs (4 from each of the 3 leagues) will advance to the Champions League. Champions League The 12 teams that qualify for the playoffs in the Semi-Finals round (4 from each of the 3 leagues) will advance to the Champions League, which is a single 12-team league. The winner of the Finals in this league will be crowned as the tournament champion. Use of Fillers Some qualifying leagues for an event will need "fillers" due to the fact that we won't have an even numbered membership (divisible by 12) and we will probably have some "dropouts" during the season. "Fillers" are non-tournament players who will play in the qualifying league for the sheer joy of competition; "Fillers" can also be tournament players who will play in an extra league just to fill out the league but whose score for that league will not count towards their official tournament standings. For such filler players only their first team entered in a round will count for points. Point System / Tiebreakers - 1 point for each regular season win in a qualifying league - 3 points for winning a regular season division title in a qualifying league - 3 points for winning a wild card position in a qualifying league - 2 additional points for making the Finals in a qualifying league - 3 additional points for winning the league championship in a qualifying league - 5 bonus points for participating in all 5 Events Tiebreakers 1. Championships won 2. Finals made 3. Playoffs made 4. Regular season total wins 5. No. of events played 6. Pick 3 winner Ballpark Requirement - A player must not re-use a ballpark in any event. For example, if he used Fenway in Event 1, he may not use Fenway in events 2 or 3, nor may he use Fenway in the playoff round. - There can be more than 1 player using the same ballpark in the same event and/or league. For example, player X and player Y may both use Fenway in event 1 league 1. In theory, the same ballpark could be used by all 12 teams in any league or event. The prohibition relates to the same player using the same ballpark. - A player who is acting as a "filler" for a particular event and league should also refrain from using that ballpark in any other event or league. So, a player acting as a filler should avoid using a ballpark that he may want to use for an active team in a separate event. - If a player re-uses a ballpark, there will be a 20 point penalty.
