PLAYER RANKING & GUIDELINES

Player Rankings for both the American CueSports and Canadian CueSports are provided courtesy of CCS.

Why Have Player Rankings?

In the SINGLES, SCOTCH DOUBLES, and TEAM Events at ACS and CCS Championships, there are different DIVISIONS based on Skill Level: 

  • PROFESSIONAL
  • ADVANCED +
  • ADVANCED
  • OPEN 
  • STANDARD  
  • REC

This provides everyone a better chance in competing and enjoying success.

If more than one Player Ranking is grouped within a Division, a Game Spot will be given to the lower Player Ranking (s).


How Do Player Rankings Get Assigned?


At time of tournament Entry, your Player Ranking will now be the higher of:

  1. Your established  Compusport CSR player rating. Here is the link to find your current rating: Tournaments & Leagues History - CompuSport, oror,
  2. Your established Fargorate player rating (which will be converted to CSR). Here is the link to find your current rating: FargoRate - FairMatch
