The event will consist of a series of four (4) Round Robin events with THE BEST THREE (3) results being used to
determine invitations to the Metropolitan Champion of Champions (C of C) event on 4 May.

of the 21 & under. (National ranking points are available at the Medibank State Final)
The top eight (8) placed metropolitan players in each age group at the conclusion of the Westpac JDS metropolitan series
will be those with the highest number of points won during the series (after adjusting for best 3 results).
Points will be allocated weekly as follows: - Winner 10 points, runner up 8, losing semi-finalist 6, losing quarter finalist 5
points, losing round of sixteen (16) 4 points, card winner 4 points card runner up 2 points and 1 point for participation.

This means that a player may qualify for C of C in more than one age. Should this occur the player will be asked to
nominate the age to be contested at C of C at the end of the series. The age played at C of C will be the age contested at
the Medibank State Final.
