Ranking List

• Each player has to play in a minimum of five eligible tournaments, including at least three with a Rapid time control.
• The final score is calculated as the sum of up to seven of the player's highest scores.
• The 5 players who accrue the most Circuit points from eligible tournaments get automatic qualification to the prestigious BCA Invitational event to be played in the last quarter of the year.
• In case of a tie in the final ranking of players, the tie will be broken by removing the lowest event score that was included in the player’s final score calculation. If this fails to resolve the tie, then this process shall be repeated until the tie is broken. If this fails to resolve the tie, there will be a drawing of lots.
• BCA shall update and publish the Ranking List at least on a monthly basis.
