Points will be awarded to each player on an individual basis to determine the GRAND PRIX overall winners for the female and male 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place winners. The points will be calculated separate from the site and weekly results will be made available to all tournament players. Points will be awarded based on finishing position in the bracket for that day. The points are awarded individually in descending order 8 through 1 and totaled up for the 8 weeks to determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for the female and male players. Absent players will not receive points for the week they do not play.

SUBSTITUTIONS: Players are expected to notify tournament organizers well in advance if they cannot make a match. Players are not to invite their own subs. Tournament organizers will assign a sub from a pre-approved list of players. Subs on the list will be prepared to reimburse the player directly $22.50 for each week they participate, however it is the tournament player’s responsibility to collect the reimbursement from the sub.
