PLAYER RANKINGSThe CCS uses RANKINGS of A ADVANCED, B OPEN or C STANDARD. A Player will be assigned a ‘Performance Ranking’ based on their finish in every SINGLES or TEAM Event played in at a CCS or ACS Championship. The ‘HIGHEST OF THE LAST 2’ assigned ‘Performance Rankings’ will determine their PLAYER RANKING.

The ‘Performance Rankings’ are assigned, as follows:1. In an A, B or C FINALS Division

Top 12% – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of NEXT HIGHER Division. In the Money – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of SAME Division. Out of the Money – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of NEXT LOWER Division.

2. In a B or C QUALIFYING Division Top 1 – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of NEXT HIGHER Division.

Because of the ‘HIGHEST OF THE LAST 2’ rule, a Player will need to be assigned 2 consecutive NEXT LOWER ‘Performance Rankings’ before their PLAYER RANKING will go down.

The CCS and Tournament Coordinators reserve the right to assign PLAYER RANKINGS based on KA – Known Ability. A Player without a Ranking will be designated as ‘U’ Unknown. A ‘U’ Ranking will be considered the equivalent of C Standard, unless assigned otherwise based on KA.

The latest Player Rankings are available on the CCS website at www.cdnqsport.com. ____________________________________________________________

TEAM RANKINGSThe Player Rankings of all those on a Team Roster will determine the Team Ranking:

2 A Players –Team 8Ball Advanced Ranked 1 A Player – Team 8Ball Open Ranked 2 B Players –Team 8Ball Open Ranked 1 B Player – Team 8Ball Standard Ranked All other – Team is Standard Ranked
