28 hours of qualifying. No cards. Unlimited attempts.

Qualifying play on 15 tournament machines to determine 16 players that will advance into an A-Divison Group Elimination finals rounds, with next 8 qualifiers to play a B-Division finals with the same format.

Best 7 machines count towards total composite score. You must have machines from all three eras: i.e. Two (2) Early (EM), Two (2) Mid (solid state), and Two (2) Late (DMD/Video)-- plus 1 additional from any era, i.e. the player’s choice.
