Overall

This will be an 8 week Monday Night League where players play 6 group matchplay games weekly starting at 7 pm in 3 or 4 player groups. Games will score 4,3,2,1 in 4 player groups and 4,2.5, 1 in 3 player groups and bonus points are available for seeding purposes only for top score of the night on a league machine. League nights take approximately 2-3 hours a week.

Top 12 players will make A finals and remainder will make B and C finals as size of league allows. All players will earn prize money and wpprs. Top 4 players in A will earn a bye.

League finals will be similar to SCS as a best of 7, single elimination tournament, but will play double elimination for money and final placements only.

Players will be swissed weekly into groups based on average points per week to account for drops. Players can drop 3 lowest scores due to misses for work / illness and must play in at least half of league nights to be eligible to play in finals.

League Nights will be 29 JAN, 5 FEB, 12 FEB, 19 FEB, 26 FEB, 4 MAR, 11 MAR, 18 MAR with league finals on SATURDAY 23 MAR at Noon. Buy in will be $100 and all prize money will be distributed to players
