Player Ranking
A player's score for a game is determined by his finishing position relative to the number of players who started that contest. The greater the number of starting players, the more points that player receives. For example, a player who finishes third in a game that began with 31 players receives 8400 points; fewer players than that would result in lower point totals. Points are awarded for the top 20 finishers in any tournament, or to all players if 20 or fewer participate. Any player who finishes below the top 20 in a WTPT regular season tournament receives zero points.
A player must accrue a minimum of 8 games played during a season at a given bar in order to receive a Tavern Ranking at that location. For ranking and scoring purposes, a game is a regular-season tournament in which the player finished in the top 20 (or "in the numbers"). Games finished out of the top 20 do not count toward rankings or the required number of games to be eligible for the Tavern Championships.
Players are ranked at 4 levels every season. These averages determine eligibility for tournaments at the Tavern level and beyond:
Tavern Ranking- The average of one's top 10 scores at a given tavern;
Regional Ranking- Average of one's top 15 scores from any and all taverns in that region (in states divided into regions);
State Ranking- Average of one's top 20 scores from any and all taverns in a state; and
National Ranking- Average of one's top 25 scores from any and all WTP taverns in the nation.

Famous quotes containing the words player and/or ranking:
“The chess-board is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
“We should spend less time ranking children and more time helping them to identify their natural competencies and gifts and cultivate these. There are hundreds and hundreds of ways to succeed and many, many different abilities that will help you get there.”
—Howard Gardner (20th century)
