PLAYER RANKINGS
The CCS uses RANKINGS of A ADVANCED, B OPEN or C STANDARD. A Player will be assigned a
‘Performance Ranking’ based on their finish in every SINGLES or TEAM Event played in a CCS or ACS
Championship. The ‘HIGHEST OF THE LAST 2’ assigned ‘Performance Rankings’ will determine their
PLAYER RANKING.
The ‘Performance Rankings’ are assigned, as follows:
1. In an A, B or C FINALS Division
 Top 12% – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of NEXT HIGHER Division.
 In the Money – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of SAME Division.
 Out of the Money – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of NEXT LOWER Division.
2. In a B or C QUALIFYING Division
 Top 1 – assigned ‘Performance Ranking’ of NEXT HIGHER Division.
Because of the ‘HIGHEST OF THE LAST 2’ rule, a Player will need to be assigned 2 consecutive NEXT
LOWER ‘Performance Rankings’ before their actual PLAYER RANKING will go down.
The CCS reserves the right to assign PLAYER RANKINGS based on KA – Known Ability. A Player
without a Ranking will be designated as CU Unknown. A CU Ranking will be considered the equivalent
of CC Standard, unless assigned otherwise based on KA.
The latest Player Rankings are available on the CCS website at www.cdnqsport.com.
________________________________________________________________________
TEAM and SCOTCH DOUBLES RANKINGS
The Player Rankings of all those on a Team Roster or Scotch Doubles Roster will determine the Team
or Scotch Doubles Ranking:
 2A Players – Team 8Ball A Ranked / Team 9Ball A Ranked / Scotch Doubles A Ranked
 1 A Player – Team 8Ball B Ranked / Team 9Ball A Ranked / Scotch Doubles A Ranked
 2 B Players – Team 8Ball B Ranked / Team 9Ball B Ranked / Scotch Doubles B Ranked
