With
110 votes in to date and the outcome being 90 yes to 20 no, the
SPCS has agreed to adopt the new Universal Classification Program.
This is an awesome change and we are very happy to be a part of
this.
What this means to you...
CONSISTENT CLASSIFICATIONS
Currently, every league in the country has its own set of rules,
using various classification titles (Beginner, Rookie,Novice,
Advanced, Amateur, etc) that have no consistent meaning. This
is confusing to players and makes it difficult to classify players
that play in more than one league, and almost impossible for players
in different geographies to compare themselves with each other.
By participating in the Universal Classification Program, your
players will have a much easier time understanding their classification,
and be able to compare themselves to other players nationwide.
NATIONWIDE STANDINGS
While many leagues maintain their own season standings, and may
continue to do so under the Universal Classification Program,
the context of those rankings is limited to the area the league
operates. By adopting the Universal Classification Program, your
players are rewarded with ranking points that let them see their
ranking amongst all teams in the country.
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
The Universal Classification Program is designed to integrate
with PSP Classifications. This allows the PSP World Cup to double
as the National Championship.
SEASON CHAMPIONS
Each season will end with the crowning of a Season Champion for
each sanctioned division of play, based on the ranking points
teams earn in your league plus the National Championship at World
Cup. Teams will thus have the opportunity to not only be the best
team in your league, but to be the best team in the country. Your
teams will attract attention to your league, especially if they
place in the top of the standings.
The SPCS will still have the Beginners bracket which will now
be D5, Rookies which will now be D4, Novice which will now be
D3, Amateur which will now be D2, and the Masters will be Masters
:o)
Masters, D4, and D3 will play on Saturdays and D5 and D2 will
play on Sunday.
Though the 1st event will not count towards your Regional points,
this upcoming event on Feb 28 & Mar 1 and all events forward
will.
Pay less... Win more... Earn points!!!!
