Team placement for Draw # 1 is based on final standings at the end of the previous season with priority to returning teams to Thursday Evening Open.
The placement of teams in Draw # 2, Draw # 3 and Draw # 4 will be by overall ranking of season-to-date points (not points in only the most recent draw).
In Draw # 5, the four divisions will be ranked in order of the standings after Draw #4 (i.e. teams ranked 1-5 will play in "A1" Division, 6-10 in "A2" Division, 11-15 in "B1" Division, and 16-20 in "B2" Division).
Ties in the standings will be broken by head to head in the standings so far with a team in a higher division getting the advantage.
Points for the leagues will be as follows:
Division A1 Win=9, Loss=3, Tie=6
