  I. SCHEDULE                                                                    
                                                                         
    The Annual Tournament will start on the first Tuesday of each year.                                                          
    Matchups for the entire schedule will be posted at least one week in advance of the start date.                                                      
    Each year the schedule will be altered to rotate the order that everyone plays each other.                                                        
    Each Player will play against every other Player once during the regular season, making a 15 week schedule.                                                    
    Every 4 weeks will be a Division Week, where Players will face someone from their own Division.                                                      
    After everyone has played all other players once, the playoffs will begin, and continue for 3 weeks, with players being eliminated for a loss.                                              
    1st and 2nd Seeds will have a bye week during the first round of the playoffs.

    Base points: 1 point for Bronze, 2 for Silver, 3 for Gold, 4 for Platinum                                                          
    Base points will be multiplied by a Difficulty and Completion modifier.                                                          
    The modifier will equal: 1 - (Average Platinum or 100% Completion of Game Played - Players Completion of Game) - (Average Completion + 0.5).                                              
    Easy Version:                                                                     
      If your Completion of the game is equal to the Average Platinum Completion on PSNProfiles, you will get 100% of points earned.                                             
      If it's lower than the Average Platinum Completion, you will get less than full points.                                                     
      If it's higher, you'll get bonus points, up to a maximum of 2.5x.                                                        
      Because of this sliding scale, if the game has an Average Platinum Completion of 85% or higher, you will not earn any points.                                            
                                                                         
  III. PLAYOFF SEEDING                                                                    
                                                                         
    6 Playoff Berths will be available. 4 Division Champions, and 2 Wildcard Berths.                                                        
    Division Champions will be determined by overall Win/Loss record, with Tie Breaking being decided by Division record, Points for the season, Trophies Earned for the season, Career Difficulty, and finally coin toss.                                
    Wildcard berths will be determined by overall Win/Loss record of players who did not win their Division Championship. Tie breaking procedures will be the same as Division Championship procedures.                                    
    Division Champions cannot proceed to the playoffs without earning a trophy during the tournament, and must have at least one Win.                                                
    If a Division Champion is not eligible for the playoffs, the playoff berth will be awarded as the lowest seed available, and will go to the next Wildcard eligible player.

    There will be no Ties.                                                                    
    In the case of a Points Tie, Trophies Earned for that week will decide the winner, and then Total Points for the season, Trophies Earned for the season, Career Difficulty, and finally coin toss.                                      
    Zero Point Ties, where no trophies were earned by either player will result in a loss by both players.                                                      
    Zero Point Ties, where trophies were earned, but resulted in zero points towards the tournament will be decided by the Points Tie procedure.
