The scoring system is fixed for positions 1 - 16 (240 for 1st, then descending by 10 points a place down to 90 for 16th). The points scored by teams finishing 17th and below vary depending on the number of teams at the tournament, and are worked out by the following formula: Teams below 17th score finishing in m'th position (with N teams in the tournament) score 80 * (N+1-m) / (N-16) points, (rounding to the nearest integer). Therefore 17th place in a 27 team LWL receive: You can work out the rest, it does make sense (eventually!) Every Division Winner at each Matchday receive an extra 10 points, bringing their score in line with the bottom team of the Division above them. At the end of the League the total points of ALL 4 matchdays will count towards the final rankings - please note this is different from previous years when teams have been allowed to drop their worst result. Any issues with points allocation should be addressed to the LWL Committee.
