Points

There are no kickers, just points based on position. It was going to be points per win, but a specific point system is required to be applied across all tournaments in a series, so I'm going with a more diverse point spread to reward both placing and participation.

• 1st: 20 points
• 2nd: 15 points
• Top 4: 12 points
• Top 8: 10 points
• Top 16: 8 points
