League Scoring Formula – Highest Player Points Wins:

• Player Points = (Sum Of Player League Round Ratings Less Skulls Player Rating For Each The First 5 Sundays Excluding The Two Worst Sundays) + (Championship Round Rating Less Skulls Player Rating)
• Players who miss the Championship Round will receive -100 point penalty.
• Players will receive a -100 point penalty for each round missed in the first five rounds, excluding the first two missed rounds.
• Skulls Player Ratings are the average of all past league rated rounds within the last 12 months.
• PDGA ratings will be substituted for players who don't have a Skulls Player Rating.
• Players who don't have either a Skulls or PDGA rating will establish a Skulls Rating upon completion of the first sanctioned league round.
• Both Skulls and PDGA Ratings updates will effect the points formula on a go-forward basis.
