How Advancement Is Calculated

  • Advancement points are given according to the overall finishing position in a contest. The first place winner will be awarded 10 advancement points, second place 9, and so on down to the 10th place, who will be awarded 1 point. For the purposes of advancement points, all contestants are ranked, regardless of class.
  • The ESL scorekeeper will keep track of "advancement points" for all members. If a Sportsman accumulates 24 or more lifetime advancement points, the sportsman will be advanced to expert class at the beginning of the following season.
  • Any sportsman can decide to advance to expert at the beginning of a contest season. To do so, simply register as an expert at your first contest of the season and continue to register as an expert.
