Why Have PLAYER RANKINGS ? In the SINGLES and TEAM Events at ACS and CCS Championships, there are different DIVISIONS based on Skill Level: A – ADVANCED B – OPEN C – STANDARD By ranking Players and Teams and restricting the Division that they can play in, this provides everyone a better chance in competing and enjoying success. The PLAYER RANKINGS are: P - PROFESSIONAL M - MASTER A - ADVANCED B - OPEN C - STANDARD U - UNRANKED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Do PLAYER RANKINGS Get Assigned? The approach taken by the ACS and CCS is to base every player's ranking on their actual performance at previous ACS or CCS Championships. Based on how a player does in successive Championships, a player's ranking may automatically go up or down. For the first ever Championship attended, every player or team starts on the bottom rung unless assigned otherwise based on 'KA - Known Ability'. Player Rankings will be updated at the end of each league year based on player performance in all tournaments competed in that year. 1. ACS and CCS PERFORMANCE RANKINGS All Players are assigned a PERFORMANCE RANKING after every 8Ball SINGLES or 8Ball TEAM Event of any CCS or ACS Championship as follows: 8Ball SINGLES M MASTERS Top 12% of A-Advanced Finals A ADVANCED Top 12% of B-Open Finals Made $ but not in top 12% in A-Advanced Finals B OPEN Top 12% of C-Standard Finals Made $ but not in top 12% in B-Open Finals Made no $ in A-Advanced Finals C STANDARD Not in Top 12% of C-Standard Finals Made no $ in B-Open Finals 8Ball TEAM A ADVANCED Top 12% of B-Open Finals Made $ in A-Advanced Finals B OPEN Top 12% of C-Standard Finals Made $ but not in top 12% in B-Open Finals Made no $ in A-Advanced Finals C STANDARD Not in Top 12% of C-Standard Finals Made no $ in B-Open Finals Finishing in the Top 12% usually means that the player or team will have received a payout greater than double the Entry Fee. 2. ACS and CCS PLAYER RANKINGS The PERFORMANCE RANKINGS are then used to assign two PLAYER RANKINGS to each player, one for Team play and one for Singles play that will apply in future Championships. A PLAYER'S 'TEAM' RANKING Will consist of the highest of the Player's last 2 PERFORMANCE RANKINGS in 8Ball TEAM Events since 2005 in any CCS or ACS Championship, prior to the current league year. A Player's 'TEAM' RANKING may not be lower than their 'SINGLES' RANKING. A PLAYER'S 'SINGLES' RANKING Will consist of the highest of the Player's last 2 PERFORMANCE RANKINGS in 8Ball SINGLES Events since 2005 in any CCS or ACS Championship, prior to the current league year. A Player's 'SINGLES' RANKING may not be more than one level lower than their 'TEAM' RANKING. 3. ACS and CCS Professional and Master Players Any player who is on the NE – ACS Professional List is not eligible to compete in any ACS or CCS Championship. Players who have achieved the M Masters PLAYER RANKING ranking will stay at that ranking until they have successfully petitioned through ACS or CCS to be moved down to a lower ranking. 4. KA - Known Ability The ACS and CCS reserves the right to assign or change any PLAYER RANKING based on KA – Known Ability. Fargo ratings will be used for KA as follows: Professional – 720 Men / 630 Women Master – 675 Men / 600 Women Advanced – 625 Men / 525 Women Rankings of Advanced or higher on KA are frozen unless successfully appealed otherwise. A Player without a Ranking will be designated as ‘U’ Unknown. A ‘U’ Ranking will be considered the equivalent of C Standard, unless assigned otherwise based on KA. For the Standard Division of Singles events: League Sanctioned players – must be pre-approved by their League Operator. Non-League Sanctioned players – are not eligible. Must play in the Open or higher Division. A female playing in a ‘Team – All’ or ‘Singles – All’ event will be assigned a ranking one level lower. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Are The PLAYER RANKINGS Used? 8Ball SINGLES The PLAYER 'SINGLES' RANKING of either M Master, A Advanced, B Open or C Standard assigned to a player will directly determine the lowest Division of Singles that the Player is eligible to compete in. An M Master ranked player must play in the Advanced Division. A player may enter a Division higher than their ranking if they want to. 8Ball TEAM The PLAYER 'TEAM' RANKING of either M Master, A Advanced, B Open or C Standard assigned to each of the Players on the Team Roster will determine an overall TEAM RANKING of either A+ Advanced Plus, A Advanced, B Open or C Standard which in turn will directly determine the lowest Division that the Team is eligible to play in, as follows: A+ Advanced Plus Division 2 or more Players are M Master team ranked A Advanced Division No more than 1 Player is M Master team ranked 2 or more Players are A Advanced team ranked B Open Division No more than 1 Player is A Advanced team ranked 2 or more Players are B Open team ranked C Standard Division No more than 1 Player is B Open team ranked All other A team may enter a higher Division than their ranking if they want to. 9Ball SINGLES 9Ball Singles events including any ranking restrictions will be as listed in the Tournament Brochure. 9Ball TEAM / 8Ball SCOTCH DOUBLES All A Players – Team 9Ball A+ Ranked - Scotch Doubles A+ Ranked Any A Players – Team 9Ball A Ranked - Scotch Doubles A Ranked Any B Players – Team 9Ball B Ranked - Scotch Doubles B Ranked All C Players – Team 9Ball C Ranked – Scotch Doubles C Ranked
