- 35 players max

- With a full field of 35 players, 7 players will be waiting in a queue and 28 will be playing in 14 heads-up matches on 14 machines.

- At the end of each game, the winner gets one point. The loser stays at the game unless they've played on that machine twice in a row, in which case the winner stays. The player staying on the game plays as Player 2 in the upcoming game. The player that left the game reports or records the win and loss and goes to the back of the queue. The first player from the queue reports to the machine and plays as Player 1 against the player that remains.

- 4 hours of qualifying divided into two 2-hour sessions. At the end of each qualifying time period, no more games may start. Finalists are determined via highest number of points (wins minus losses!), and ties are broken by most wins.

- A and B division finals will take place following the conclusion of the second 2-hour session, with the the top 8 players making up the A field and the top 4 remaining B-elibigle players making up the B field. Eligibility for the B division will be determined once most of the field's IFPA rankings are known.

- Tiebreakers will be played as needed to break ties to determine the cut line for the playoffs, They will be on a randomly assigned machine and feature all players involved in the tiebreak. Player order will be randomly assigned.
