Matchday Points Allocation

Individual Points
Individual points will be allocated to the top eighteen finishing players at each match.  The individual points will be allocated as follows :

1st = 25pts
2nd = 22pts
3rd = 20pts
4th = 18pts
5th = 16pts
6th = 14pts
7th = 12pts
8th = 11pts
9th = 10pts
10th-12th = 9pts
13th-15th = 6pts
16th-18th = 3pts

Team Points
A player scores points for their team as above, however only a maximum of three players per region can score team points in any one match for calculating team matchday points.  Should four or more players from one team reach points scoring positions, the lowest of those points scorers will receive 0 team points and their team points will be allocated to the next best finisher.

Team points will be totalled for every match and the team finishing with the most team points will receive 5 match points.  The team finishing with the second most team points will receive 4 match points.  The team finishing with the third most team points will receive 3 match points.  The team finishing with the fourth most team points will receive 2 match points.  The team finishing with the fifth most team points will receive 1 match point.  No other teams will score match points.

Where teams finish with an equal number of team points, the team who has the highest single individual points scorer will be deemed to finish ahead.
