<T12>

Qualification Matches contribute to a Team’s ranking for Alliance Selection.
• When in a tournament, every Team will be ranked based on the same number of Qualification Matches.
• When in a league, every Team will be ranked based on the number of Matches played. Teams that participate at least 60% of the total Matches available will be ranked above Teams that participate in less than 60% of the total Matches available; e.g., if the league offers 3 ranking sessions with 4 Qualification Matches per Team, Teams that participate in 8 or more Matches will be ranked higher than Teams who participate in 7 or fewer Matches. Being a no-show to a Match that a Team is scheduled in still constitutes participation for these calculations.
• In some cases, a Team will be asked to play an additional Qualification Match. The extra Match will be identified on the Match Schedule with an asterisk; Win Points, Autonomous Points, and Strength of Schedule Points for that Qualification Match will not impact a Team’s ranking, and will not affect participation percentage for leagues. Teams are reminded that <G1> is always in effect and Teams are expected to behave as if the additional Qualification Match counted. In leagues, Teams may have a different number of Qualification Matches. Rankings are determined by the Win Percentage, which is the number of wins divided by the number of Qualification Matches that Teams have played.
