Participants were encouraged to attend as many circuit events as possible in order to earn PMCC points, which were tallied at the final event to award a circuit prize to the top 8 finishers.

2017

In 2017, the point system has an added twist. There are 6 regions: Pacific Northwest, Pacific Southwest, Midwest, South, Atlantic Northeast, and Atlantic South. The event that a player obtains the most points from in each region will get a 20% amplification in points for said player, allowing a player to accumulate even more points by traveling out of the region. This is intended to encourage players to travel to different regions more often.
