Individual Points

This series is set up for fun and competition. Overall champions win a trophy and bragging rights. If you play any day of the Illinois Open Series you are automatically entered into the series. It costs no extra fee to enter the series. There will be no deductions from tournament payouts to pay for overall series champion trophies.

Points only count in the division in which they are earned. For example, if Bruce plays Advanced at the first event and receives 12 points then plays advanced masters at the next event and earns 12 points, he does not have a total of 24 points. He would have 12 points in advanced and 12 points in advanced masters.

Participants will be awarded one point for each tournament entered and one point for each player they tie or beat in their division.

A player who DNFs (Does Not Finish), will receive 0 (zero) points for that tournament.

Overall points will be calculated from best 5 of 7 events. Players must play in a division four times to be considered competing for series points in that division.

Ties are broken by a sudden death playoff at the final event of the year.

Thank you Dynamic Discs for their sponsorship of the series trophy discs.

Club Points

Introducing series points for clubs! At this point it is just for bragging rights, but we thought we’d experiment with a team/club component to the series.
Points are as follows:
If a player places in one of the 5 major divisions (MPO, Am1-am4), they will earn their club points
1st = 10 pts
2nd = 5 pts
3rd = 3 pts
In the smaller divisions where there are at least two players from different clubs participating:
1st = 5 pts
If a club has more than 10 players participating on a given day, they will earn 10 bonus points.
When you checkin, show the your bag tag for the club you are competing for and we will note it on your leader board card. The bag tag is required; no tag, no points! Note that this is just for identification purposes, the IOS team is does not have the manpower to compute/run tags for all of the participating clubs.
This may get tweaked through the year based on how things go and the feedback we receive. Please let us know what you think.
