Finals:
- Format: PAPA style match play (3 games each round, 4/2/1/0 scoring)
- All players participate in finals, prizes awarded for all divisions (prize breakdown TBD)
- Groupings are based on multiples of 16 (this assumes at least 32 players; this will be modified to reduce the field for A division by 50% if less than 32)
- Anyone qualifying outside of the multiple of 16 will be placed in the X division (e.g., with 38 players, top 16 players make A division, the next 16 players make B division, the last 6 make X division. With 52 players, top 16 A, next 16 B, next 16 C, last 4 X and so forth.)

200% WPPRs
- 8 meaningful games each qualifying week x 4 weeks that count = 32 meaningful games
- 18 meaningful games for finals
- 50 meaningful games total x 4% = 200% TGP
