PLAYER RANKINGS
The CCS uses RANKINGS of A ADVANCED, B OPEN or C STANDARD. A Player will be assigned a
‘Performance Ranking’ based on their finish in every SINGLES or TEAM Event played in at a CCS
or ACS Championship.
The ‘HIGHEST OF THE LAST 2’ assigned ‘Performance Rankings’ will determine their PLAYER
RANKING.
The ‘Performance Rankings’ are assigned, as follows:
1. In an A, B or C FINALS Division
 Top 12% – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of NEXT HIGHER Division.
 In the Money – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of SAME Division.
 Out of the Money – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of NEXT LOWER Division.
2. In a B or C QUALIFYING Division
 Top 1 – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of NEXT HIGHER Division.
Because of the ‘HIGHEST OF THE LAST 2’ rule, a Player will need to be assigned 2 consecutive
NEXT LOWER ‘Performance Rankings’ before their PLAYER RANKING will go down.
The CCS and Tournament Coordinators reserve the right to assign PLAYER RANKINGS based on
KA – Known Ability. A Player without a Ranking will be designated as ‘U’ Unknown. A ‘U’ Ranking
will be considered the equivalent of C Standard, unless assigned otherwise based on KA.
The latest Player Rankings are available on the CCS website at www.cdnqsport.com.
