There are some small changes to announce/explain in how our points works for the 2015 Smoking Aces Tour Championship Point System. We are continuing to have NO MEMBERSHIP FEES for competitors to participate in the 2015 Smoking Aces Tour.
Competitors will acquire points based on their place in their division as according to the official results. They will also gain bonus points based on the number of competitors in their division. Here is the point totals related to place:
1st - 30 Points
2nd - 25 Points
3rd - 20 Points
4th - 15 Points
5th - 10 Points
6th - 5 Points
7th & Bellow - Only Acquire Points For Division Totals
As I already mentioned, competitors will gain additional points based off the total number of competitors in their specific division. Therefore, if a competitor is in a division with a total of 12 competitors, they will gain an addition 12 points to their result points.
Here is the equation: competitors final result + total number of competitors in the division = point value for the event.
Examples:
Jacob is competing at the 2015 Smoking Aces Tour: Ante Up Slopestyle. He is competing in the 14-17 Skiing Division. There are a total of 7 competitors in the 14-17 skiing division. Jacob finished 3rd on the official results in his division. Jacob's point value for this event is 27 points.
20 (official finish) + 7 (total number of competitors) = 27 (Jacob's points for the Ante Up Slopestyle)
Kyle is competing at the 2015 Smoking Aces Tour: Royal Flush Tour Championship. He has a total of 67 points accumulated from the first two events. He has been competing in the Open Snowboarding Division. Kyle finished 2nd on the official results in his division. There were a total of 17 competitors in the Snowboarding Open. Kyle's point value for this event is 42. He now has a total Tour Point value of 109.
We have made these changes to our points system in the efforts to award competitors for doing well at events that have more competitors in their divisions. Effectively, our goal is to tighten up the race between competitors whom are seeking to win the 2015 Smoking Aces Tour Championship.
Tour Champions will be announced at the awards ceremony of the 2015 Smoking Aces Tour: Royal Flush Championship Slopestyle.
