New player ranking system
SEA 'Power ranks'

Detailed SEA Power Ranks info here
Compete player database + results here

SEA Power Ranks is the system we shall use to determine seeding. We shall be allocating points for placing highly in each Masters Cup + wT Weekly. These are then added to a players career total points to work out our tournament seeds. Masters Cup is one of, if not the toughest event in our region, so points will be given from 1st to 16th place to reward those who finish highly, but might just fall short of the 1st-3rd cash prizes. It also serves to reward regular participation.

Points break down

1st - 100 points
2nd- 60
3rd - 40
4th - 20
5th-8th - 10
9th-16th - 5

(300 points total for a standard Masters Cup)

*Double points shall be given for International editions.
