Explanation of the POINTS SYSTEM

for our Points Trnys

Gin Genius, No Knock, and Red & Black trnys are each a monthly series of single elimination tournaments. You may play in one or all tournaments during the month. Player points accumulate during the month. At the end of the month, the player with the highest point total is declared the "Gin Genius",  "No Knock", or Red & Black champ for the month. Points do not carry forward from one month to the next and are reset to zero at the beginning of each month.

Points are calculated based upon each round won, ten points times the round number. These are added together for the night and accumulated during the month.

The following is an example of a five round tournament:

Win RD 1, receive 10 pts (10 x 1)
Win RD 2, receive 20 pts (10 x 2)
Win RD 3, receive 30 pts (10 x 3)
Win RD 4, receive 40 pts (10 x 4)
Win RD 5 (Finals), receive 50 pts (10 x 5)
Runner Up RD 5 (Finals), receive 25 pts as a bonus for making it to the finals (half of what winner receives)

The winner of the above example receives 150 points for winning all 5 rounds (10 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 50 = 150).

The runner up of the above example receives 125 points ( 10 + 20 + 30 + 40 + 25 = 125).

If the trny has less than 5 rounds (16 or less players) then the points are less.

The winner then receives 100 points for winning all 4 rounds (10 + 20 + 30 + 40 = 100).

The runner up of the above example receives 80 points ( 10 + 20 + 30 + 20 = 80).

If you ever have any questions or concerns about your points for any of these games, please email A1TRNYLiana@aol.com for an explanation.  Hope to see you grabbin' those points each month!
