2017 Freestate Doubles (FSD)
Sunday March 26, 2017 to Saturday, September 23, 2017

FSD for 2017 will be run very similar to last year and FSD will start on Sunday, March 26th and end on Saturday, September 23rd. The finale will then take place in mid-October on a date and in a location to be confirmed in the future.

The points system will be the same as last year (hereinafter referred to as “STANDARD” points system), and, as amended last year, aces will only be worth 10 bonus points to the individual player (see below for further details). At least one TD has expressed an interest in using an alternative points system, which is fine, but leagues played under a non-STANDARD scoring system cannot have participants considered for the “overall” points champion (as described below) because the per round points cannot be compared to other FSD Divisions. The intent is to review the league point system for possible alternative points methods in a TD conference prior to the 2018 league. For 2017, the STANDARD FSD points system will be in play for “overall” points champion.

The STANDARD FSD points system:
Each player starts each event with 5 points. When the round is finished the TD will average all scores to the nearest .5. If a player's score is lower than the average the difference is added to that players score. So, if the average score for all teams is 56 and a player threw a 53 then 3 points would be added to his/her score giving him 8 points for that event. Visa versa if the average is 56 and a player threw 59 then 3 points would be subtracted giving him/her 2 points. All players get at least 1 point. Bonus points go to the winners (+5) and to anyone who throws an ace (+10).

At the end of the year, we will take players from each FSD Division and they will compete in the Freestate Doubles Championship, Champions Division. The number of players that will qualify will be determined at a later date, as we get closer to the end of the season. Anyone who doesn't make it into the Champions Division, will be welcome to compete at the Finale in the Field Division.

The "overall" points champion will be determined by taking the #1 points earner from each league division, and dividing their total points by the number of rounds that they have played. The player with the best scoring average will become the Freestate "overall" champion for the season.

Additional information regarding the FSD Finale will be posted at a later date.
