Overall

The Australian Open is based on the rules of INDISC open championships held in California. A 5 game "card based" system is used to qualify for the finals which are a 4 player match play system. Top 2 in each group of four progress to the next round until a final group of 4 is established to determine the winner. There is no limit to the cards played by any player. Finals will be top 32 players after 2 days of qualifying.

Qualifying over 2 days (Dec 1 and 2) from 10 am to 11.00 pm.
