Results of scoring method vote (from April bulletin) for U.S. 3-Move National
Tournaments (by Richard Beckwith, ACF Player Rep)
Voting participation was not very high from our mail-in ballot in # 356 ACFB-Apr
2012. Masters voted to amend the scoring
system to ballot scoring by a 4-1 vote effective with this year's
National Tournament. Majors (5-1) and Minors (2-0) voted to retain their current
method of scoring by game. All divisions continue to play four-game
rounds. GAYP Nationals were not voted upon here, and remain scored by game
(two-game rounds). The Tournament Director will have your rating and place you in the appropriate
division by brackets as: 2000 & above plays Masters, 1701-1999 will play Majors, and 1700 &
below plays Minors.
