HOW TO QUALIFY FOR INVITATION
- Knights (Open division) must be active PDGA
members no later than the morning of 10/17/09
- Play and complete, at minimum, two rated rounds
in an approved Joust qualifier event (any PDGA sanctioned event or any NEFA
Points event within Maine) anytime from January – October 11th 2009.
- While there is a minimum number (2) of rounds needed to qualify, there is no maximum. However, for every
event played after reaching the minimum of two rounds, a player will be
rewarded with bonus points added to their Joust ranking average to encourage
players to participate in more qualifying events.
- All Maine players are eligible to qualify.
Events within Maine will be monitored automatically, but it is recommended
that if a player goes out of state and wants those rounds included, let us
know.
JOUST RANKINGS
- Joust rankings will be based on the average of
the two highest individual round ratings from among each player's officially
submitted rounds during the season.
- Bonus points will be added to a player's average
for each event submitted after the minimum of two rounds is reached. The
number of points will depend on the highest level of sanctioning of the event:
- NEFA Points only = 1 point
- PDGA C-tier = 2 points
- PDGA B-tier = 3 points
- PDGA A-tier or NT = 4 points
- PDGA Major = 5 points
- Rankings and seeding for the match play
tournament will be determined from highest total to lowest. In case of
ties, the tie-breakers will be the following:
- highest base average (base = average before
bonus points added)
- most submitted PDGA sanctioned rounds for
qualification
- highest PDGA rating as of the most recent
update
