Hey there!
Now that we're entering the summer season, we'll be picking the Vancouver IWPS representative who will represent us in October.
We'll be using the same points system that we used during the regular season over the last nine months. That is to say:
1st place - 16 points
2nd place - 9 points
3rd place - 4 points
4th place - 1 point
5th place - 0 points
This does not apply to 'alt' slams, only to qualifying slams, held on the 1st, 3rd and potentially 5th Monday of every month from May 1st to August 30th, 2010.
Because of the limited number of slams in the summer season, there will be no cap on how many times a person can slam. : )
In the points system rankings, ties are broken first according to who had the higher finish, and second by points. So, for instance, if at the end of season Poet A had one second place finish, they would have 9 points, and if Poet B had two third place finishes and a fourth place finish, they would also have 9 points. Poet A would receive the higher ranking because Poet A finished higher in a slam than Poet B ever did. But if Poet A and B both had one second place finish, and both had 9 points, and they were tied for the final and fourteenth slot to go directly to playoffs, the tie would be broken by who had the higher score on their second place finish.
