Tournament System

11.1    Subject to the number of entries in each category of competition, the tournament organiser in conjunction with the Canoe Polo Committee will devise a system that fairly ranks all teams within a category.

11.2    If there is a large number of entries received then these will be banded together to allow a good and fair weekend’s competition for all attendees.

11.3    It is desirable that each team get a final ranking place, but it is acknowledged that it may only be possible to give approximate placings (for example 24=) for some positions.

11.4    The top two teams for a club in each category only will score points towards the
“Top Club” ranking.

11.5    The points system will be as follows:

11.5.1    The maximum number of points in each category will be the number of teams entering the
Open class of competition.

11.5.2    The First placed team in each category will score this number of points, the second one less and so on.

11.5.3    The last placed team in the Open category will score one point.

11.5.4    In the Women’s and Youth categories, the teams will score the same number of points as the equivalently placed Open team.

11.6    All Clubs entering the competition will be given a ranking, based on the total number of points that they accumulate.

11.6.1 In the event of tie the team winning the most categories of competition will be declared the
winner, in the event that this provides no outright winner the clubs will be given an “equal”
ranking.
