These points in turn are earned each Sunday in weeks 1-7 [added note: 6 weeks for US Skulbats here] based on which
tier they take in the Swiss tournament
(where tier = group of people with the same number of wins; explained in detail
here):
1st tier: 9* points
2nd: 7
3rd: 5
4th: 3
5th: 2
6th+: 1
*If you are clear first (rather than tying for first), you get a bonus point for a total of 10.
NOTE: If a player leaves mid-tourney for whatever reason (disqualification / forfeit [added notes: including connection issues or having to leave for other scheduled events ), they are given
zeropoints no matter how high they scored that evening.
