The MVP Program is based on a tiered skill-level system. The tiers are as follows:

8Ball

Skill Levels 2-3

Skill Levels 4-5

Skill Levels 6-7 

9Ball

Skill Levels 1-3

Skill Levels 4-5

Skill Levels 6-9 

The MVP is calculated based on the number of points earned divided by the number of points available (PA).

Example in 8-Ball:

In every 8-Ball match, you have 3 points available to win. If you play 10 matches, you have 30 points available to win (3x10). If you win a total of 13 points in those 10 matches then the calculation is: 13 / 30 = 0.43 or 43%. This means that you won 43% of the points available (PA) to you during the session.

Example in 9-Ball:
 
In every 9-Ball match, you have 20 points available to win. If you play 10 matches, you have 200 points available to win (20x10). If you win a total of 162 points in those 10 matches then the calculation is: 162 / 200 = 0.81 or 81%. This means that you won 81% of the points available (PA) to you during the session. 

In each division, one player per session from each tier will be declared the Division MVP. In the event of a tie, both players will be named co-MVPs and both players will receive the MVP awards. 

Division stats are available through your Member Services Account. Each player must have a minimum of 7 matches played in a division for that session in order to eligible to be declared the MVP.
