The Western PA Series will consist of several events over the course of 2023. Anyone who enters one of the events this season will be entered to win their divisions WPAS Trophy at the final event of the season, Western PA Series Finale. At each event, we will register you as a competitor for the series and allot you 2 points for participating in the event. We will track the number of individuals you beat at each event (ex: if you finish 4th out of 12 players, you will receive 8 points plus 2 points for that event). Each player's best 4 event finishes + the WPAS Finale finish will count towards their point total. The WPAS Finale will count as DOUBLE POINTS. At the end of the season, per division, the individual with the most folks defeated will be crowned winner with a WPAS Division Championship Trophy and additional payout collected from the events prior. NOTE: If you play multiple divisions, either playing both days or changing divisions between events, we will track both, but you will only be eligible to win a single division at the end of the season (whichever is the more advanced of the two)
