What are Sectional and Designated tournaments?
The Sectional Championship (one per Division) counts as two tournaments for eligibility, and is weighted 1.7 in the STAR ranking calculations. There is one Sectional per Division of play. A Designated event counts as one tournament for eligibility, and is weighted 1.3 for ranking. The number of Designated events per Division of play varies (many Divisions do not have Designated events). Beginning in 2008, for players who play National tournaments and are Nationally ranked, some Designated events are also coded as “national sectionals” for National points. “Regular” events count as one tournament for eligibility, and are weighted 1.0 for ranking. For more information (and a summary of ranking requirements) review Section III.A of the regulations.
