2018-2019 NCA Tour Points Model
Competitors earn ranking points at each NCA-sanctioned event throughout the Tour season, with their 4 best Competitive scores (3 in the Recreational division) accumulating to determine their Tour ranking.
In doubles events, both players in a team individually earn the full points for their respective finish.
This points model was used for the 2018-2019 season.
The points awarded for each tournament placement are determined by the Points Model below.

Tiebreaker Procedure
In the event of a tie in ranking points, the following procedure will be used to break remaining ties.
1) Most number of highest place finishes among the player's 4 best Tour finishes that make up their NCA Ranking
a. Most 1st place finishes among a player's 4 best Tour results places higher
b. If still tied, most 2nd place finishes among a player's 4 best Tour results places higher
c. If still tied, most 3rd place finishes among a player's 4 best Tour results places higher
d. If still tied, most 4th place finishes among a player's 4 best Tour results places higher
ect. until the tie is either broken, or the players have perfectly equal results and the procedure moves to Step 2
2) If still tied, the higher rank is awarded based on whichever player finishes higher at the NCA Finale event (typically the Ontario Singles Championship in St. Jacobs).
Players not in attendance at the NCA Finale will automatically receive a lower ranking that those at the event.
3) If still tied (resulting from tied player's not playing in the NCA Finale) the tie will remain unbroken in the final NCA Tour Rankings.
Other Notes
1) In the absence of 3rd-place matches, 3rd and 4th place will be assigned by the semifinal loser with the higher ranking from the previous round.
2) In each event Pool B winners receive 2 bonus points, with Pool B runner-ups receive 1 bonus point.
3) Note that while the NCA does not regulate individual tournaments on who is allowed to play in competitive or recreational divisions,
individuals are only allowed to win the NCA Recreational Tour title once.
