Summer League

The players have been divided into 4 tiers. 

The cutoff points for each tier have been determined according to the latest Spring League ratings up to 4 August. (The equation for calculating these points is Qk = (n + 1) * (k / 4), where 'k' represents the specific quartile (1 for Q1, 2 for Q2/median, 3 for Q3, 4 for Q4)) Please click here to see which tier each player is in.

Players who showed they were ready to play higher than their tier are designated by their tier and a +. This means they compete in their tier and one tier higher.

Players play against players up to 2 tiers (or 3 tiers +) higher or lower than their own (e.g. Players in Tier B play vs players in Tier C (1 tier lower) and vs players in Tier D (2 tiers lower, but Players in Tier A do not play vs players in Tier D unless they are in Tier D+ (see previous question for explanation on meaning of +). 

Partial League only players play vs other players as explained above once only.

Full League players play against other full league players as follows:

• 3 times vs players in the same tier or 1 tier lower +

• 2 times vs players 1 tier lower or 2 tiers lower +

• 1 time vs players 2 tiers lower or 3 tiers lower +

• 1 time vs all Partial League players 2 tiers lower or 3 tiers lower +
