The USFTL National/State ranking points explanation is as follows:

# of teams in a tournament/league multiplied by a specific # of points per division: A division = 40 points, B division = 30 points, C division = 20 points, D division = 10 points. 

For combined division tournaments/leagues, points are given based on highest division ranked team in event. 
Example: 10 teams in a tournament, 1 of the teams are A division, the rest are B & C division teams, multiply 10 teams x 40 points per place = 400 points, 2nd place - 360 points, 3rd place - 320 points, 4th place - 280 points, etc.  

For USFTL "MAJOR NIT'S", State Tournaments and Regional Tournaments, teams are awarded double ranking points for these events: A division = 80 points, B division = 60 points, C division = 40 points, D division = 20 points. 

For  the USFTL National Championships, teams are awarded triple ranking points: A division = 120 points, B division = 90 points, C division = 60 points, D division = 30 points. 

Tournament Seeding Information

National Ranking points are used to seed all USFTL Tournaments, except at USFTL State Championships, where USFTL State Ranking points are used to seed USFTL State Championship Tournaments. Teams cannot use ranking points from one Game to seed them into another Game:
Example: If a 4 on 4 team plays in a 5 on 5 tournament, the 4 on 4 team cannot use their 4 on 4 points to seed them in the 5 on 5 tournament.  

Note: Teams cannot transfer ranking points from one Game to another.
Example: A 9-man Ineligible Lineman flag team plays in a 8-man eligible tournament - the 9-man team will earn points from that tournament but they must be used for 8-man eligible only.
