2020-2021 NBVA Championship Points Tables

• The NBVA Series 2020-2021 runs from September 2020 to March 2021.
• The team seeding of NBVA tournaments is based on the average of the players’ individual seeding scores.
• The individual seeding score is the player’s average ranking points from their last 3 results within the 13 months preceding the current event date (current seeding period).
• If a player has less than 3 results in this period, their score will be derated by 10%.
• If a player has no results in this period, then the same evaluation will be done for up to 2 prior seeding periods until a valid result is found. The prior seeding periods are the periods between 12 and 25 months, then 24 and 37 months prior to the current event date.
• When points are used from one of these prior periods, a further 15% derating of the seeding score will be incurred.
• If no results are found within the seeding periods, a player will have a seeding score of zero.
• If a player with no seeding score partners up with a player with a seeding score – a team average will be calculated using half points for player with none.
• The winner of A will get a spot in AA and the winner of AA will get a spot in AAA for the next tournament (only if the two players play together again in the next event).
• If the tournament is oversubscribed members will have priority over non-members.
• The Championship will be decided by counting points from all the NBVA tournaments of the 2020-2021 season.  Note: points from the NBVA Championships are worth 1.5 x points
• Mixed tournament results do not count towards any individual seeding score or points for the Championship.
• Wild cards may be awarded under discretion of the NBVA committee.  Wild card entry teams can send an email to info@nbva.org.au including details supporting their request by providing tournament results and career highlights by Wednesday (12pm) before a tournament.
