Six players from the qualifying tournaments will receive complementary travel, lodging and tournament entry fees to the Grand Final. These six players will include the first place finishers from four of the qualifying tournaments that are uniquely designated. The last two spots are reserved for the two highest scoring finishers at the end of the 11-tournament qualifying season.
