Earning Points

Points are awarded based on each individual's performance in GOG's Weekly Legacy Night on Wednesday. Each win is worth 3 points, each draw 1 point, with no points awarded for a loss.

(Example 1: Player A with 2 wins and a draw would earn 7 points, Example 2: Player B with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss would earn 4 points)

 

Separately, each player will also earn 1 attendance point for each event they participate in over the course of the season.

Points are reset at the end of each season.

 

 

3. Tiebreakers / Pass Down Policy for Invites

 

If there is a tie for points in the standings in determining the top 3 players of the season, the following tiebreakers will be used to determine the final rankings:

 

1. Number of 3-0 results

2. Amount of Participation Points

3. Number of 2-1 results

  

A player can only earn one invite to the Invitational. If a player already qualified for the Invitational then receives an invite from another source, the invite will pass down to the next qualified player from that season.

 

For example if Player A has already qualified for the Invitational as one of the top 3 players of season 1, if they then place in the top 3 again in season 2, the invitation will pass down to the 4th ranked player in season 2. 

 

If a player qualfied for the Invitational is unable to attend the event and notifies Grey Ogre Games beforehand, the invitation will be extended to the next person
