The points system enables you to compete with members at a similar skill level to your own, from Division D, or possibly Division E, for the less experienced photographers to Division A at the top. Judges decisions on 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, plus Highly Commended (HC) and Commended (C) are changed into points for the League scoring system. At the end of the year you can move up, down, or remain in your current league depending on the points accumulated.
