that began with 31 players receives 10,550 points, and the winner 11,550; fewer players than that results in lower point totals. Points are awarded to the top 20 finishers in any tournament, or to all players if there are 20 or fewer participants. Any player who finishes outside of the top 20 in a WTP regular-season tournament receives no points (but earns a game played). A player only needs one Top 20 finish during a season at a given bar in order to receive a Tavern Ranking at that location. For ranking and scoring purposes, a game is a regular-season tournament in which the player finished in the top 20. Players are ranked at four levels every season. These averages determine eligibility for tournaments at the Tavern level and beyond: Tavern Ranking- The average of a player's top 15 scores at a given tavern; Regional Ranking- Average of a player's top 20 scores from any taverns in that region (in states divided into regions); State Ranking- Average of a player's top 25 scores from any taverns in a state; and National Ranking- Average of a player's top 30 scores from any WTP taverns in the nation.
