Finalizations to PLR
While we're in the process of making semi-productive posts, 'Fro and I have finalized the remaining facets of the Purdue Ladder Rankings. Also, Friday Night Johns will be done at 'Fro and Fro, LLC, although we will be commencing said johns far earlier than the evening; I will be home and done with classes by 2:45 PM, so we can get things rolling pretty early. With that said, please see below for information about the PLR:
1) At the end of the semester's SSBO circuit (defined as 11:59 AM on the Sunday of the semester's final SSBO weekend), the top two PLR participants as ranked by their final point totals will be rewarded as follows (assuming an $80 final pot):
1st: 70% ($56)
2nd: 30% ($24)
2) Point system: This point system is subject to change at the end of each semester, should it be determined that an inadequacy exists. Note that all players' points will reset to 0 at the end of each semester's SSBO circuit.

1st: 100
2nd: 70
3rd: 45
