AMATEUR POINT SERIES overview
Points from all 6 JSPS events count towards the standings
All AM entry fees (minus tournament costs + $125 per event for CJO) will go towards Point Series
Points are earned from Participation Points + Beat points + Podium points

POINTS EXPLAINED
Participation Points
5 points for playing and finishing

Beat Points
1 point for every person you beat in your division (not including yourself)

Podium Points
1st place in division = players in division multiplied by .6
2nd place in division= players in division mutiplied by .4
3rd place in division= players in division multiplied by .2

If participation is similar to 2025 we will payout cash to a similar amount of places. This year we will "flatten out" payouts with the max a Series winner can win is $100 in series vouchers. This will pay more to top finishers that didn't win. Final amount of players to be paid per division will be based on participation and will be finalized after Event 4.

For reference in 2025 we paid in series vouchers
MA1 10 players
MA2 10 players
MA50 8 players
MA3 21 players

(There are no events played minimums for ams to qualify)
