Determining your Classification Rating
A player receives a base score for each event based on the final place their team finishes. Players on 1st place teams receive 100 points, players on the last place team receive 10 points, with points for other teams evenly distributed so players on a team placing exactly in the middle receive 55 points.
Each base score has multipliers applied to convert it to an event score. Multipliers include:
- Division - Higher divisions earn more points
- Season - Older events are worth less points
- Players Fielded - 4-man, 3-man and 2-man events are worth less points
- # Teams - Events with fewer teams are worth fewer points.
- Player Age - Older scores for players over 40 are worth fewer points.

Your Classification Rating is the sum of your second, third, and fourth highest scores. For players with only one score, the top score is multiplied by 50%. For players with a total of two or three scores, the top score is dropped if it is D4 or lower.
A player starts the season in the highest class in which their Classification Rating exceeds the point threshold for that class in the "Start of Season" table.
If a player plays in a division higher than the class at which they started the season, AND earns enough points to exceed the point threshold in the "Anytime" table for that division, the player will be immediately promoted to that division.
Note that Pro and Semi-Pro have the same point limits. In order to advance to Pro, a player must have played at least 2 Pro events within the past 2 seasons.
You may be promoted to a higher division at any time during the season, or at the end of a season. The number of points needed to be promoted at the end of a season are lower than the number of points needed during a season.
