Players will qualify based on the higher of their peak NASPA rating (PR) in either TWL or Collins. A player’s PR is defined as his or her highest un-accelerated rating that satisfies the following conditions:
It is achieved at the end of a rated tournament played.
It is not achieved before the tournament in which the participation requirement has been met.
''Un-accelerated'' means that acceleration points earned in a tournament
are deducted from the player’s post-tournament
rating before it is considered for a peak rating.
In the event that a dispute concerning these rules should arise, it will be
resolved by one of the following bodies as indicated: Canadian Committee
(matters concerning qualification of Canadian players), TeamUSA Selection Committee (matters concerning qualification of US players), International
Committee (all other matters arising before the first day of the tournament),
the Tournament Director (any matters arising on the days on which the
tournament is contested). As always, rulings concerning disputes may
be appealed to the Advisory Board, which will (time permitting) hear
them at its next scheduled monthly meeting.
