• All divisions are: MPO, MP40, FPO, MA1, MA40, FA1

Event Payout

• For each event, payout will go to top 40% of each division.

Series Payout

• $5 from each entry goes to the Series Payout. This will also cover trophies / party expenditures at Series Finale Party at 7th Mountain after COWS #9 on March 29.

• 100-point system (100 pts for 1st place, 99 for 2nd, etc.)

• To qualify for the Series Payout, players must play at least 5 of 9 events.

• Each player’s best 5 results are used to calculate final standings.

• Series Payout will go to top 50% of qualified players in each division.

• In case of a first-place tie, the tiebreaker is Total Points accumulated. That way, those who play more events have better odds of winning. (Tiebreaker for 1st place only.)

• All Am payouts are in scrip.

• Trophies TBD (there’ll be a special prize for playing all 9 events)

Discs

• Ams will get a COWS disc at their first event, which counts against scrip payouts.

• Pros do not get a free disc, but can purchase one for $10.
