How the Serie system works

• The winner of a Serie is granted an automatic berth in that Serie for the next 4 Grand Slam events.
• The top 3 finishers in Serie A are granted automatic berths into Serie A for the next Grand Slam.
• For every 3 coaches in a Serie other than A, 1 top finisher is granted an automatic berth into the next highest Serie (Serie A = highest) for the next Grand Slam. The number of coaches receiving automatic berths cannot exceed 3. Rounding is done to the nearest whole number, so if there were 3 or 4 coaches in Serie B, the winner would be granted an automatic berth to Serie A in the next Grand Slam. If there were 5,6 or 7 coaches, the top 2 Serie B finishers would get Serie A berths in the next slam and so on.
• Breaking Ties: In any Serie, if there are ties, the team with the player that has advanced the farthest wins the tie. If a tie remains, then the team with the player that advanced the second farthest wins the tie and so on. If a tie remains at this point, then if one team has more players advancing in a deeper round than the other team, that team wins the tie. So, if one team had 2 players advancing as far as the 3rd round and the other team had only one to go that far, the first team wins the tie-breaker. If both teams are still tied at this point, then both teams are deemed to have finished equally.
• In the case where more teams have finished equally and in position to recieve automatic berths into a higher Serie than there are automatic berths available, these ties are broken according to the '52 Week Rankings Tie' rules below.
• Remaining spots (not automatic berths) in the Series will be filled by the highest ranked coaches. So, if 9 spots remain in Serie A after the automatic berths, these 9 spots would be filled by the 9 highest ranked coaches, not including ones that already have automatic berths, of course. If there is a rankings tie for the last qualifying spot into a Serie, the tie breakers are explained below in the section, '52 Week Rankings Tie.'
• 52 Week Rankings Tie: If there is a tie in the 52 week rankings for who gets to advance to a particular Serie for the next Grand Slam, here is how the tie is broken:
  1. Which coach has gone the longest without being in the next highest Serie (the player with the longest drought wins the tie breaker to get into the higher Serie).
  2. If a tie remains and if both coaches agree, a "playoff" may be used to determine who advances. The playoff is a Lightning Round only draft for an upcoming tournament selected mutually by the coaches. All coaches involved in the tie would bid to assemble their rosters and the highest scoring coach advances.
     ***Important note: Some non grand slam tournaments give byes to players in the first rounds. A bye does NOT count as a win until the player receiving the bye takes the court for his round 2 match. In other words, if the player withdraws from the tournament or otherwise does not show up, no points will be awarded for the first round bye. However, the moment the player takes the court, the first round bye does count for a point. This rule may be colloquially be referred to as "The Barry Rule."
  3. A fair, pseudo-random event is used (such as a coin flip).

How Ranking Points Are Determined

• Ranking points are awarded according to the number of people in the pool. In Serie A, each coach adds a point to the value of winning the pool, so a first place finish in Serie A with 12 people is worth 12 points, and a last place finish is worth 1 point. In Serie B, ranking points are halved, so a win in a 12 person Serie B is worth 6 points, a 2nd is worth 5.5, etc. In Serie C, ranking points are quartered, so a win with twelve people is worth 3 points.
• In the case where teams finish equally (see, Breaking Ties above), both coaches receive the full ranking point value for that finish. So, if two teams tied for 1st in a 12 person Serie A, both coaches would get 12 ranking points."
