The players best 3 scores (from 4 events) are used to determine entry to the club championship (8 players).
Please note the following with qualification:
- Only players best 3 tournaments will count towards qualification;
- Players who have missed 1 or more events to date can increase their standing significantly in the final tournament;
- If a tie on points occurs for 8th place, the tie-break will be sum of progressive scores for the 3 best events for the players;
- Requested 1/2 point byes have been removed from players qualification scores;
- The upcoming Western Masters event is not a qualification event, as the club will be split into rating groups for this tournament. The final qualification tournament is the 7 round Koshnitsky Cup to be held after the Western Masters;
- Winning any of the qualification events outright awards the winner automatic qualification.
The current 2022 standings are below. Cijo and Dean have already qualified by winning any of the qualification events outright (seen in red below, other top 8 in green).
