The event will consist of three tournaments: A single, main tournament (qualifying Friday and Saturday, finals Sunday) and two classics tournaments (one Friday, one Saturday).

All tournament qualifying will be in Herb-style, unlimited qualifying format.

Finals will be PAPA style with 4, 2, 1, 0 scoring.

The top 24 players in the main tournament (24 for Classics I and Classics II as well) will go to the playoffs for that tournament, with the top 8 getting byes for the first rounds (top 8 for Classics I and Classics II as well).

Player order will be chosen for the first game by seeding (player’s choice) while order for the following games will be chosen by finishing position in the previous game played (4th place finisher gets first choice, 3rd place finisher gets second choice, etc.)
