We have implemented a new and more balanced scoring method. We first rank the flight based on the existing points of the top five teams in the flight just prior to tournament play. This accurately represents the level of competition present. That averaged value is the basis for the total points any team in that flight can win at the tournament.

When tournament play is complete and teams are awarded points, we subtract 20% of the team's own points when calculating their points. This prevents strong teams from entering flights with weak competition and then easily winning their own points again.

Teams with lower than average points in the flight will gain a greater reward for defeating teams stronger than themselves.

Finally, the resulting value of maximum points possible is divided according to the team's final placement. Champions win all possible points after their 20% deduction, Finalists win half of that value, and Semi-Finalists win one quarter.

Any tournaments that were ranked before the new system was launched will retain their previous point values.
