ACO-PRO Series Rankings

ACO-PRO Series Rankings are a separate ranking from World Singles Rankings and are comprised of 2 elements:

1. ) The player’s best ACO Frame Game SCR

Each time a player improves on their ACO Frame Game, that new score will be used in the Rankings. All players earn their Frame Game SCR regardless of advancing to the Championship Bracket or not.

2.) The player’s Total Points of their 4 best ACO-PRO Series finishes in the Championship Brackets.

See Points Scale below. Once a player advances into their 5th Championship Bracket, their lowest score will be dropped, etc.

Points Scale (Championship Brackets)
1st Place = 50 pts
2nd Place = 40 pts
Top 4 tie = 30 pts
Top 8 tie = 20 pts
Top 16 tie = 10 pts
