Please Note: Each Sunny game will be worth up to 3 frames. Each Foggy game will be worth up to 5 frames. Please see below for more details.
[spoiler=Sunny Game Scoring]Here's how I'll decide if it's a 3-0 win or a 2-1 win.
I will look at the deployments for each turn (not including spoils). If the loser has out-deployed the winner in more than 1/3 of the turns (not including turns where players deploy the same amount of armies) then they will be awarded 1 frame, with the winner taking 2.[/spoiler]
The Semi Finals of the Shanghai Masters will include 1 foggy game which is worth 5 frames. The Grand Final will include 2 foggy games.
[spoiler=Foggy Game Scoring]This is how it'll work for the foggy games.
If the loser has out-deployed the winner in more than 1/3 of the turns, the score will be 3-2.
If the loser has out-deployed the winner in more than 1/5 of the turns, the score will be 4-1.[/spoiler]
This tournament will consist of 7 mini-tournaments, one for each of the main events in the Snooker calendar.
Each mini-tournament will be a standard 1v1 knock-out tournament, with prize money being awarded for each event.
Everyone will play 6 of the events, with the Masters event being played only by the top 16 players (those with the most prize money won after the first three events).
At the end of all 7 tournaments the player at the top of the Prize Board will be declared the winner of the World Snooker Season 2009-2010!
Each event will be played on a different map, relevant to the name or place of the event - e.g. the UK Championship will be played on the British Isles map etc.

[spoiler=seeding]Seedings will be done based on CC score for the first event, then by prize money for all the others.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=joining games]All games should be joined within 48 hours. Multiple events will be run at the same time so it'll be pretty complicated if I have to chase everyone up.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=bonus money]Each sunny game will represent 3 frames, and each foggy game will represent 5 frames. For each game I will look at how close the game has been, and award the losing player an appropriate number of frames.
In accordance with this, two prizes will be awarded (or shared) per tournament:
Highest Break - awarded to the player(s) with the best "goal difference" - that is the (# of frames won) - (# of frames lost)
Maximum Break - awarded to the player(s) who have won over 90% of the frames in that tournament[/spoiler]
[spoiler=prize money]Prize funds will be listed in this thread at the beginning of each event. The ranking list will be updated as each round of each event finishes.[/spoiler]
