Some big names here for the weekend and it will be interesting to see how the format plays out.
Here is the Format/Rules sheet as passed out at the event during the players meeting:
Players will be seeded for the first round using a "reverse seed" meaning the best players will play going down the BCA ranking list. During rounds players will play alternate break 15 game matches. Players will have score sheets and will keep track of games won and break and runs. Players will earn one point for each win plus one point for each break and run. Players will also keep track of games played. Players only mark a game played if they come to the table in that game. These stats will be used to calculate a players PPG (Points Per Game percentage)
Player ranking after the initial round will list as follows:
1. Points Per Game Percentage (PPG)
2. Games Won
3. Break and Runs
4. One game playoff in case of tie
Every round following the first round will be seeded according to the highest PPG or above tie breakers in case of tie. Meaning the two best players will play each other and on down the line. There is one exception to this rule. Players may not play the same players in two consecutive rounds. The players with the highest cumulative PPG will move on to make the cut. After the cut rounds continue the top four players will play match play races to 9 to decide the winner.
