All tournament qualifying will be in Herb-style, unlimited qualifying format.

There will be 10 games available for the Main Tournament (your top 5 scores count toward your entry) and 6 games for each Classics Tournament (your top 4 scores count toward entry).

Finals will be PAPA style with 4, 2, 1, 0 scoring.

The top 24 players in the main tournament will go to playoffs for that tournament, with the top 8 getting byes for the first rounds. Top seed in each group will choose the three machines that will be played in each round for their group.
