Pool Ranking Point System

​

• A Ranking Points list will be maintained representing the total points each member has earned from participation in the main draw of CSNS Ranking Events.

​

• All players, regardless of classification or rating, will be maintained on one list.

 

• Points based on order of finish in Ranking Events will be awarded as follows:

100 pts - 1st

90 pts - 2nd

80 pts - 3rd

70 pts - 4th

60 pts - 5th-6th

50 pts - 7th-8th

40 pts - 9th-12th

30 pts - 13th-16th

20 pts - 17th-24th

10 pts - 25th-end

 

• No bonus points will be awarded for participation in Ranking Events.

​​

• When events enter Single Knockout phase, points will be distributed evenly among the players finishing at the same position.

 

• At the conclusion of the last CSNS Ranking Event, the top 2 overall players, regardless of classification, earn paid entry fee and travel expense allowance to CBSA Open Nationals in the discipline of their choice (8-Ball, 9-Ball, or 10-Ball).  The top 2 Amateur players earn paid entry fee and travel expense allowance to CBSA Amateur Nationals in the discipline of their choice (8-Ball, 9-Ball or 10-Ball).  CBSA NAtionals entry fee and travel allowance packages are worth $1,000, provided enough funds are raised by CSNS.  The packages will be prorated by available funds if not enough money is raised.  Forecast is based on average Ranking Event participation of 32 entries.

​

• If an Amateur player finishes as one of the top 2 overall players, they may choose from paid entry fee and travel allowance to CBSA Open Nationals, or to CBSA Amateur Nationals, but they may not claim both.  The remaining spot will be re-allocated according to the next standing player on the CSNS Ranking Points list.   If both Amateur spots are already claimed, this option is no longer available to an Amateur being awarded an Open spot.  The player must then either accept the Open spot, or pass, which means the Open spot will be re-allocated to the next standing player)​

​

• To earn paid entry fee and travel expense to CBSA Nationals via the Rankings Point list, players must have played in at least 2 CSNS Ranking Events.
