Points are only awarded for a win, and the placing is determined on average, with points earned divided by matches played.
Aswin says it is always good to excel in another country.
“I always feel that Apne Desh Ka Naam Roshan Ho Raha hai. Whatever problems you have back home but you are still Indian at heart. You come here, you do well, and they say a guy from India is doing well; it is not only good for you, but it is also good for the community around you. People out there will be pleased. You are not making yourself very happy, and you are making others happy too,” he told NRI Affairs.
