Why Have Player Rankings? In the Singles and Team Events at ACS and CCS Championships, there are different Divisions based on Skill Level: A – Advanced B – Open C – Standard By ranking Players and Teams and restricting the Division that they can play in, this provides everyone a better chance in competing and enjoying success. How Do Player Rankings Get Assigned? The approach taken by the ACS and CCS is to base every player's ranking on their actual performance at previous ACS or CCS Championships. Based on how a player does in successive tournaments, a player's ranking may automatically go up or down. For the first ever tournament attended, every player or team starts on the bottom rung unless assigned otherwise based on 'KA - Known Ability'. 1. ACS and CCS Performance Rankings All Players are assigned a Performance Ranking immediately after every 8Ball Singles or 8Ball Team Event of any CCS or ACS Championship as follows: 8Ball SINGLES M Masters Top 12% of A-Advanced Finals A ADVANCED Top 12% of B-Open Finals Made $ but not in top 12% in A-Advanced Finals Top 1 of B-Open Qualifying (CCS only) B OPEN Top 12% of C-Standard Finals Made $ but not in top 12% in B-Open Finals Made no $ in A-Advanced Finals Top 1 of C-Standard Qualifying (CCS only) C STANDARD Not in Top 12% of C-Standard Finals Made no $ in B-Open Finals 8Ball TEAM A ADVANCED Top 12% of B-Open Finals Made $ in A-Advanced Finals Top 1 of B-Open Qualifying (CCS only) B OPEN Top 12% of C-Standard Finals Made $ but not in top 12% in B-Open Finals Made no $ in A-Advanced Finals Top 1 of C-Standard Qualifying (CCS only) C STANDARD Not in Top 12% of C-Standard Finals Made no $ in B-Open Finals 2. ACS and CCS Player Rankings The Performance Rankings are then used to assign two player rankings to each player, one for Team play and one for Singles play that will apply in future Championships. A PLAYER'S 'TEAM' RANKING Will consist of the highest of the Player's last 2 Performance Rankings in both 8Ball Singles and 8ball Team Events since 2005 in any CCS or ACS Championship. A Player's 'TEAM' RANKING may not be lower than their 'SINGLES' RANKING. A PLAYER'S 'SINGLES' RANKING Will consist of the highest of the Player's last 2 Performance Rankings in 8Ball Singles Events only since 2005 in any CCS or ACS Championship. A Player's 'SINGLES' RANKING may not be more than one level lower than their 'TEAM' RANKING. 3. ACS and CCS Professional and Master Players Any player who is on the NE – ACS Professional List. are not eligible to compete in any ACS or CCS Championship. Players who have achieved the M Masters ranking will stay at that ranking until they have successfully petitioned through ACS or CCS to be moved down to a lower ranking. 4. KA - Known Ability The ACS and CCS reserves the right to assign or change any Player Ranking based on KA – Known Ability. A 'U - Unranked Player' will be considered a 'C - Standard Player' unless ranked higher on KA - Known Ability. How Are The Player Rankings Used? Singles Event The 'SINGLES' player ranking of either A Advanced, B Open or C Standard assigned to a player will directly determine the lowest Division of Singles that the Player is eligible to compete in. An M Master ranked player must play in the Advanced Division. A player may enter a Division higher than their ranking if they want to. Team Event The 'TEAM' player ranking of either A Advanced, B Open or C Standard assigned to each of the Players on the Team Roster will determine an overall Team Ranking of either A Advanced, B Open or C Standard which in turn will directly determine the lowest Division that the Team is eligible to play in, as follows: A Advanced Division 2 or more Players are A Advanced or M Master 'TEAM' ranked B Open Division No more than 1 Player is A Advanced or M Master 'TEAM' ranked 2 or more Players are B Open 'TEAM' ranked C Standard Division All other A team may enter a higher Division than their ranking if they want to. Scotch Doubles Event If one or more of the Players are A Advanced or M Master ranked, the entry must play in the A Advanced Division. All others are eligible to play in the B Open Division. A team may enter a higher Division than their ranking if they want to.
