Point Guidelines


For all sanctioned tour events, points will be assessed via the following formula*:
P = X * (N / 16) * (1 / E)
Where:

N = the size of the event, measured in number of teams of the same sex when the event is segregated as such**

X = factor, determined by event finish:
  Champion 18
  Runner-up 12
  Semi-finalist 8
  Quarter-finalist 6

The values of X are assigned based on placement in what is considered the "playoff round" of an event. Where an event is initially seeded and played in round-robin format, the single-knockout round that follows is considered the playoff round (ie: Peterborough's format). Teams that do not qualify for this round are assigned 1 point per win outside of the aforementioned formula (if any eligible wins were accrued in the round-robin or pre-qualification round). Similarly, for a tournament structured in event format (London's format), events A-C or 1-3 are considered the playoff round, and are weighted by factor E. Teams that qualify for events 4-6 or D-F receive 1 point per win for round-robin (pre-qualification) play and additionally 1 point per win for wins accrued in their event (4-6 or D-F).

E = the finishing event (ie: Event A = 1, Event B = 2...), that is considered to be the playoff event. Ie: for a two-event spiel, only Event A qualifies whereas for a four-event spiel only Events A through B qualify. Other events are eligible for points-per-win only. In the rare case of an odd number of events, only the final and potentially the semifinal will receive points per the formula. Ie: a three-event spiel would see full formula points for Event A and partial for Event B. The OJCT may modify assessment where required to fit varying event formats.

P = resulting point assessment


* Bantam events derive points from this formula on a halved basis. As of the 2009/2010 season, OCT events garner OJCT points on a halved basis (though, one-half point for 1 OCT win will not be assessed). While the OJCT will endeavour to track non-OJCT event results to the best of their ability, it is the responsibility of participating teams to report results of non-junior OJCT events via the contact form (if the event is not listed on the events page of the OJCT site, this clause is deemed to apply).

** Carleton Heights will be treated as one 16 team event

The OJCT reserves the right to adjust the application of this formula, only in circumstances where an event format has changed materially from previous years or what was expected by tour management prior to the outset of the season. Any adjustments would be made to maintain consistency and the equitable distribution of points across events.
