Each year the top 12 players in Wednesday Night League (WNL) and top 12 players in Weekend Tournaments qualifier for the year-end Shootout. Here are the current standings. A few notes:

• WNL: If you looped (i.e. played twice on one week) the new system doesn’t track it. So we need to manually figure that out.
• Weekends: The points listed includes all rounds in the Indy and 2-Person Match play up to the semi-finals and all participants currently in semi-finals are awarded to where they are at. And the Calcutta still needs to happen.
