Top 24 players make it to the final (If less than 48 players are in qualifying, finals will consist of top 50% or less in increments of 2)

Ties for byes or last qualifying position will not use the Automatic Tiebreakers. All players tied with the same amount of accumulated points for these positions will play a 1 GAME tiebreaker to determine who gets a bye and who gets into the final and who doesn’t. This 1 GAME tiebreaker is significant and will result in the final placing for all players who finish 25th or worse in the tournament.
