Qualifying will be unlimited, best game format. Players can play as many entries as they want in an effort to put up the best scores on a bank of 10 (subject to change) games. The player with the top score on a game will receive 100 points, second place will receive 97 points, and third place will receive 95 points. Each place down from third will receive one less point. Each player’s top 5 (subject to change) scores will count. After totaling scores, the top 16 (top 24 if more than 48 total players play half the required number of games in the qualifying portion of the tournament) will be in the open playoffs. If 24 players are in the open playoffs, then the top 8 players will receive a bye. The next 8 players not in the IFPA top 1000 will make the B playoffs. At the discretion of the tournament officials, any other player whose past tournament performance indicates that they should be treated as an “A” player may be also ineligible for the “B” division.
