• 6 players will qualify directly through the qualifiers.
• The top 2 players of each qualifying tournament will receive a spot in the finals.
• 2 players will qualify through the LCQ.

There are 16 spots in the LCQ:

• The players below top 2 of each qualifying tournament will be awarded points depending on their placement.
• The 16 unqualified players with the most points, after all three qualifying tournaments, will receive an invite to the LCQ.
• The top 2 players of the LCQ will receive a spot in the finals.

Players who have qualified for the finals are still able to participate in all qualifiers. In the case of a repeat winner, the qualification(s) will fall to the next eligible player(s).
