Tournament Fields will be
open to a maximum of 64 amateur players with preference given to paid
members
who sign up by the registration time at each event.
Non-members may pre-register in person at an
event by placing their names on a waiting list and will be taken on a
first-come, first-serve basis for any remaining spots available after
the
sign-up deadline.
Membership Fee is waived for the 2006
season.
Entry Fee is $45.00 for all
players, plus
a separate $5.00 administration fee. The
administration fee is to pay for various costs associated with fliers
(copies

elimination, race to 7 games on the winners side, race to 6 games on
the
one-loss side, until reaching the final 12, whereupon all races will be

races on the
one-loss side may be adjusted based on number of players and number of
tables
available.
Second-Chance Tournament is
single elimination, race to 5 games, with the final match being one
race to 7
games.
Tournament Points will be
awarded to each player based on performance at each event according to

missed no more than one tour stop over the course of the season will
receive
End-of-Season Bonuses based on their cumulative final rankings.
