How to accumulate points
Points will be issued to players in the similar fashion as TAK Games League Seasons. Each player’s top three (3) results over the TAK Games Local Championships and Regionals will track towards their final ranking, with the top ranked player at the conclusion of the Organised Play season to receive a paid invite to the 2016 Dragon Ball Z World Championships.
If there is a tie for the top rank, the following formula will be used to determine the winner.
- First Tie Breaker – Highest Win Percentage
- Second Tie Breaker – Highest Total Number of Wins
- Third Tie Breaker – Lowest Total Number of Losses
- Fourth Tie Breaker – Highest Total Number of Players at Events Contributing to Rank
Travel Stipends
We are pleased to announce that travel stipends won during the 2016 Local Championships and Regional Championships circuit have been expanded to include travel to future 2016 Regional Championship events as well as the 2016 National Championships in October. This change has been made to allow more options to players looking to achieve the World Championship invite via their consistent performances over the Local and Regional Championships.
Travel stipends may be applied to the cost of travel to and from upcoming Regional Championship and National Championship events and accommodation during those events. Over the coming week, eligible players with a travel stipend will be sent an email detailing their stipend total to date and information to help process their request for reimbursement of travel expenses.
We hope this change will help drive Regional Championship attendance, as the stakes will be lifted again once these tournaments kick off in August.
