<h2 id=”leader”>Leaderboard (2016 Final)</h2>
<<p style=”margin-top:0;margin-bottom:1em;”><b>Our tournaments</b><span style=”font-weight:400;”> include a Main Flight and a Consolation Flight, guaranteeing everyone who enters at least two 5-point matches. Time constraints don’t allow for a progressive consolation format, so only first-round losers go to the Consolation Flight. Odd numbers in any round will leave some players without an opponent that round. They will receive byes, but a bye doesn’t count as a won match. Players with byes might have a bit of a wait, but will still be guaranteed two matches.</span></p>
<p style=”margin-top:0;margin-bottom:1em;”><span style=”font-weight:400;”>Entry fee $6, with $1 going toward club expenses and the remainder awarded to the winners: 50% to 1st, 25% to 2nd, and 25% to Consolation winner. If only 6 players enter, we will use a double-elimination format, with 75% to 1st and 25% to 2nd. (Tournaments will not be conducted with less than 6 players.)</span></p>
<p style=”margin-top:0;margin-bottom:1em;”><span style=”font-weight:400;”>We run our tournaments according to the American Backgammon Tour’s</span> <a href=”http://www.chicagopoint.com/usrules.html”>US Rules</a>.</p>
<b>Our leaderboard</b><span style=”font-weight:400;”> awards the first-place winner 0.1 times the number of players entered; second-place and consolation winner 0.05 points times the number of players entered. Every player wins 1 point for each Main Flight match won, 0.8 points for each Consolation Flight match won, plus 1 point for each tournament entered. </span>
