Internet Rating Points (IRPs) are awarded for high finishes in sanctioned ACC Internet tournaments. They are tabulated on both an annual and lifetime basis and are entirely separate from the Master Rating Points (MRPs) and Grass Roots rating points (GRPs) earned during live, over-the-board play.
To accumulate IRPs, players must maintain a paid, active ACC membership and complete certification for internet play by certifying their active usernames. Only members certified at the time of tournament play will receive standard point allocations.
Points are only awarded within official ACC Internet Tournaments explicitly authorized by the ACC Board of Directors and the ACC Internet Commissioner, as published on this portal or via the official ACC Community Facebook group.
Offered exclusively via the eCrib+ platform, this format mirrors traditional weekly club play. Competitors use a digital scorecard tracking system scoring 2 points for a standard win, 3 points for a skunk, and 0 points for a loss. All tournament entrants accumulating 12 or more total game points qualify for direct IRP awards based on the following scale:
| Game Points Earned | Point Calculation Formula | IRPs Awarded |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | 12 + 2 | 14 |
| 13 | 13 + 4 | 17 |
| 14 | 14 + 6 | 20 |
| 15 | 15 + 8 | 23 |
| 16 | 16 + 10 | 26 |
| 17 | 17 + 12 | 29 |
| 18 | 18 + 14 | 32 |
| 19 | 19 + 16 | 35 |
| 20 | 20 + 18 | 38 |
| 21 | 21 + 20 | 41 |
| 22 | 22 + 22 | 44 |
| 23 | 23 + 24 | 47 |
| 24 | 24 + 26 | 50 |
| 25 | 25 + 28 | 53 |
| 26 | 26 + 30 | 56 |
| 27 | 27 + 32 | 59 |
Hosted across both the eCrib+ and GameColony platforms, players must successfully advance to at least the third round of a bracketed tournament to cross the scoring threshold. Points scale cleanly based on your final elimination round:
| Elimination Round Reach | IRPs Awarded |
|---|---|
| Round 3 | 3 |
| Round 4 | 9 |
| Round 5 | 18 |
| Round 6 | 30 |
| Round 7 | 45 |
| Round 8 | 63 |
| Round 9 | 84 |
| Round 10 | 108 |
Note: Outright tournament champions receive bonus points scaling as though they advanced an additional round.
This distinct long-form league variant is run exclusively on Cribbage Pro. To secure point eligibility, players must log a minimum of 10 matches weekly across a complete 12-week seasonal block. Sanctioned points are distributed to players who complete the scheduling criteria and finish within the Top 25% of the overall tournament leaderboard, including both ACC and non-ACC players.
Each Cribbage Pro season counts as 10 tournaments played, and awards larger IRPs than individual tournaments on other sites given the extended nature of a season.
| Place | IRPs Awarded |
|---|---|
| 1st Place | 200 |
| 2nd Place | 180 |
| 3rd Place | 160 |
| 4th Place | 145 |
| 5th Place | 130 |
| 6th thru 10th Place | 115 |
| Top 5% overall | 100 |
| Top 10% overall | 85 |
| Top 15% overall | 70 |
| Top 25% overall | 60 |
To ensure balanced national competition tracking, seasonal IRP tracking is strictly capped at a player's first 150 combined tournaments per ACC year (encompassing all approved sites combined). Once you hit the 150-tournament annual limit, you will stop earning IRPs until the next seasonal calendar reset on August 1. Members are always welcome to continue participating in any ACC tournaments after reaching their ACC annual limit.
Reminder: Due to its unique multi-match structure, a single completed 12-week Cribbage Pro season counts as 10 full tournament entries toward your 150 annual cap.
The individual accumulating the highest net IRP score across a single season is crowned the official ACC Internet Champion. The overall Top 10 point earners secure prestigious **All-Internet Team** honors, with physical awards presented at the Grand National awards banquet.
Additionally, the Internet Champion and the Top 10 ranked players secure an official invitation to compete in the prestigious **ACC Tournament of Champions (TOC)** held live in Reno, Nevada. This invitation applies directly to the TOC held in March immediately following the close of the earning season.
Lifetime cumulative IRP milestones trigger permanent recognition awards. Milestone achievements include physical trophies presented at the Grand National along with a **Lifetime Invitation to the live Tournament of Champions (TOC)** in Reno.
| National Recognition Level | Cumulative Lifetime IRP Threshold |
|---|---|
| eMaster | 2,000 |
| Grand eMaster | 4,000 |
| Life eMaster | 6,000 |
| Life eMaster - One Star | 10,000 |
| Life eMaster - Two Star | 15,000 |
| Life eMaster - Three Star | 20,000 |
| Life eMaster - Four Star | 25,000 |
| Life eMaster - Five Star | 30,000 |
Note: Administrative mailings are not manually issued for TOC qualification—earned rankings are automatically honored at registration desks.
