Event B : An event with international representation from two or three of the major regions, but limited participation due to worldwide format constraints or open registration (e.g. Fire & Ice, Dreamhack): 1^st 500, 2^nd 250, 3^rd 100, 4^th 50, 5^th-8^th 25.

Event C : An event with strong regional participation, but lack significant presence from outside regions. (e.g. ECG, Pan-Am Games, Pan-Asia Games): 1^st 150, 2^nd 75, 3^rd 25.
