--------------------------------------------

Each coach’s score will be determined as the maximum point total from their best 5 tournaments plus their Organizer bonus points (maximum of 2 bonus points).

Participants will receive the following points for each tournament they attend.

Points (Top 10)
Coaches earn points based on where they finish (10 to 1 points for top 10 placements).

10 pts - First place
9 pts - Second place
1 pt - Tenth place
Should there be fewer than 10 coaches, the maximum score equals the total number of participants, and the following places decline as usual.

Bonus points (Number of attendees)
Bonus points are given per every 10 attendees, as outlined below.

0-10 attendees: no bonuses
11-20 attendees: [1-10] = +1
21-30 attendees: [1-10] = +2, [11-20] = +1
31-40 attendees: [1-10] = +3, [11-20] = +2, [21-30] = +1
41-50 attendees: [1-10] = +4, [11-20] = +3, [21-30] = +2, [31-40] = +1
Etc…

Bonus points (Number of games)
Bonus points are given based on the number of games in the tournament. This is independent of standing and given to all participants.

1-4 games: +1 bonus point
5 or more games: +2 bonus points

Rankings will be based on the Top 5 tournaments attended
- Playing in more tournaments will result in more opportunity to score higher point totals

Bonus points (Premiere Events)
Every year, four Premier events will be designated using the following criteria.

The event must be a staple of the tournament series (running for multiple years)
Each of the four events should be geographically apart, representing different regions
The Premier events will alternate from year-to-year (some may remain year-to-year)
All participants receive a bonus +3 points
Organizers are welcome to contact the tournament series organizer around November to request consideration for Premier status for their tournament for the following season

Bonus points (Organizer)
GLAM relies on the efforts and dedication of tournament organizers to succeed. To reflect this, organizers will be given bonus GLAM points in addition to their top 5. Organizers are eligible for up to 2 bonus GLAM points, outlined as follows.

0-9 total tournament attendees (0 points)
10-29 total tournament attendees (1 point)
30+ total tournament attendees (2 points)

Note that tournament attendees are additive between tournaments and can double count participants. For example, if an organizer runs 2 tournaments with 9 coaches, this is considered equivalent to hosting a single event with 18 coaches (even if the 9 coaches are the same). Hence, in order to earn the full 2 points, an organizer either needs to host one very large tournament or possibly several smaller ones.

Achivements
The achievement scoring is separate from the main scoring. All participants also earn points by unlocking various GLAM TS achievements.

Note: Achievement points do not count towards the Main or Stunty rankings.

Attendance:
- Attend 3 tournaments (1 point)
- Attend 6 tournaments (1 point)
- Attend 9 tournaments (1 point)
- Participate in a tournament with +30 attendees (1 point)

Organizer:
- 0-9 total tournament attendees (1 points)
- 10-29 total tournament attendees (1 point)
- 30+ total tournament attendees (1 point)

Race Diversity:
- Play in tournaments with at least 3 different races (1 point)
- Play in tournaments with at least 6 different races (1 point)
- Play in tournaments with at least 9 different races (1 point)
- Play 3 tournaments as Stunty (1 point)
- Play a tournament with at least 3 different stunty races (1 point)

Awards
- Win a Best Painted award (1 point)
- Win a Best Sport award (1 point)
- Win a Most Touchdowns award (1 point)
- Win a Most Casualties award (1 point)
- Win a Stunty Cup award (1 point)
- Win a Wooden Spoon award (1 point)

Travel
- Play in tournaments in 4 different cities (1 point)
- Play in tournaments in 2 different countries (1 point)

Variants (e.g., BB7s, Deathbowl, Dungeonbowl, Streebowl)

- Play at least 2 different BB variants (1 point)

Tie-breakers for Achievements:
- Number of different races used

Awards
The NAF will be providing prizes for the individuals that place 1st – 3rd in the main rankings and the top stunty. Additional prizes can be earned as follows.

That would be incredible.

Looks like a great rules set. Really like the addition of the Premier events and the variant points in the Achievements scoring. Can’t wait to get started.

Series sounds awesome. Lots of tournaments. Out of curiosity, what do achievement points do? They do not count for main ranking nor for stunty. Does one get the custom dice for these?
