PPC League Game 1.0

1. Introduction & Organization 

The PPC LEAGUE GAME (hereinafter referred to as "the League") is organized and administered by the PPC Club (hereinafter referred to as "the Organizer"). The League is a monthly event, with each season lasting one month. All participants (hereinafter referred to as "Players"), upon registration, agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions.

2. Eligibility

• Players DUPR must below 3.399 or self-assess their skill level as at least 2.75. The League does not recommend participation for beginners.

• The organizer reserves the right to verify a player's skill level and may reject participation if the minimum level requirement is not met.

3. Registration & Payment

• Registration is considered complete only after a player has fully registered and made full payment of the registration fee through Sports Sync.

• Registration fee is RM28 per player. RM56 per team.

• Registration closes 1 days before the League commences. Late registration requests will not be accepted.

• All fees are non-refundable, unless the League is canceled by the organizer.

4. League Format & Structure

• Every Session will have 8 teams.

• Each group will adopt a round-robin format, ensuring every team competes against every other in the group.

• The match schedule will be announced by the organizer before the League begins.

5. Scoring, Rankings & Prizes

• 5.1. Match Scoring Format: 

All matches will be single games using rally scoring, played to 13 points (sudden death). If the score reaches 12-12, the next point decides the match. Players must switch sides when either player first reaches 6 points.

• 5.2. Ranking System: 

Team rankings within each group will be determined by the following statistics:

P: Number of matches played by the team.

W: Number of matches won by the team.

L: Number of matches lost by the team.

Pts: Total points for the team, calculated as W (wins) multiplied by 3.

• 5.3. Ranking Rules: 

Final rankings will be primarily determined by total points (Pts). If points are tied, rankings will be decided in the following order:

 - Team with fewer matches played (P) is ranked higher.

 - Winner of the head-to-head match is ranked higher (if applicable).

 - Team with the higher sum of points (Pts) of all opponents is ranked higher – It means if a team's opponents were collectively stronger (had higher points), their "Opponents' Points" will be higher, indicating a "more difficult schedule," thus granting a higher ranking when tied.

 - Final decision by the Organizer.

• 5.4. Season Prizes: 

At the end of each monthly season, the top three teams with the highest cumulative points will receive the following prizes:

1st: RM250 Tournament registration fee credit + 5 Facolos balls
