JGL Rules
Points System
Play consistently, build experience. JGL Points drive the season ranking, All-Star eligibility and international selection.
What individual points decide
Individual rankingsPlayers earn points by finishing position in DII Tour Series and DI All-Star events; the total forms the JGL Points Ranking.
- Season ranking
- Players are ranked within their group by JGL Points, updated after every event.
- DI eligibility
- All-Star entry opens by ranking at the time registration opens.
- Season awards
- Order of Merit and each group’s season awards are decided by points.
- TJO spots
- Top point earners in each group can earn guaranteed TJO spots, as set each season; players already qualified don’t take an extra spot.
Points by place
DII points grow with the size of the field on the day; DI points are fixed by place and weigh more.
The table shows the top five as an example of the general shape. The official table for every place and field size is published each season and may change.

Team points
Team rankings- Teams form automatically by school: Elementary (G3–6) and Secondary (G7–12).
- A team needs at least two players in the same team group; there is no roster cap.
- Each round, the school’s best two scores count.
- Team points are awarded by place, with DI weighted above DII.
Carry-over
At the start of a season, players carry over points equal to one DI finish based on last season’s ranking, rewarding steady participation. New members start at 0.
Carry-over applies to the JGL ranking and DI eligibility. TJO and international selection follow each event’s published criteria.

JGL may adjust quotas, groups, tees, points, selection methods and waitlists in response to field size, entries, venue, weather, group turnout, international quota changes or other circumstances, and has final interpretation of this page. Where this page and an official event announcement differ, the announcement governs. All figures and examples are illustrative; the current season’s official documents are binding.
