PURPOSE OF THE TNS RANKING SYSTEM

The TNS Ranking System is designed to recognize and reward teams for their commitment, participation, and performance throughout the TNS Kickball season. Rankings will be used to create a fair and competitive structure across the National Kickball Series while highlighting the top teams in each division.

WHAT ARE POINTS USED FOR

TNS Ranking Points will be used to:

-Determine team rankings throughout the season
-Help determine event seeding for TNS-hosted tournaments
-Establish pool play draft order or tournament placement priority
-Identify the top-performing teams in each division heading into championship events.

HOW DO YOU EARN RANKING POINTS

Ranking Points will be earned by participating in various iFlag hosted and sanctioned leagues and tournaments. You will earn a set amount of Participation Points simply for playing that scales with your division (PRO, Elite, Competitive, Recreational, Novice, Amateur), bonus Champions Points for teams placing in the top 10 of each division, along with Early Bird Points at select events for teams registering early. See the chart below for a full breakdown of how many points may be earned at each event. Youth divisions will be awarded PRO points unless age group is broken down into divisions of PRO, Comp or Rec.

 

Participation Points are awarded just for playing in each League or Tournament, per the chart below.
