Starting 2025, the WEST LA MVP program awards the highest finishing player league wide. Using regular session data, qualifying players will be determined by using the following equation to determine their "Points Available" better known as their "PA" percentage: Number of points earned DIVIDED BY number of points available = Top Gun Score.

 

8-Ball Example: In every 8-Ball match, a player has 3 points available to win. If a player plays 10 matches, they have 30 points available to win. If they win a total of 13 points in those 10 matches then the calculation is: 13 DIVIDED BY 30 = .43 or 43%. This means the player won 43% of the points available "PA" during the session and that is their Top Gun score.

 

9-Ball Example: In every 9-Ball match, a player has 20 points available to win. If a player plays 10 matches, they have 200 points available to win. If they win a total of 162 points in those 10 matches then the calculation is: 162 DIVIDED BY 200 = .81 or 81%. This means that player won 81% of the points available "PA" during the session and that is their Top Gun score.

 

Ties will be broken in the following order using regular session play data: (1) Total number of matches played during the session, (2) session win percentage, (3) session performance points, (4) lifetime win percentage.

 

In order for a player to qualify, they must play at least eight times with their team during the regular session.

 

MVPs have automatic entry into the Top Dog Cup every July from the previous seasons, along with the top 5 players from each tier. To be eligible to participate, they must be actively participating on a team the following session in the format they qualified.
