This year, qualifying on Saturday afternoon will also involve the open category. But all players will not have to go through qualifying.

Let me explain:

On Sunday, we'll play with schedule ready in advance:

96 players in open, 32 veterans, 16 in U19 and U15, 12 in U12 and in women.

Best ranked players in each category will directly be qualified for Sunday: 80 open, 24 veterans, 12 U19, 12 U15, 8 U12 and 8 women.
The final list will be announced at the close of registration.

Others must go through qualifying round on Saturday.

Of course, the organizing committee reserves the right to change the number of participants in a category in function of registration numbers.

Is this valid and confirmed by the professional and provisional FISTF BoD? Suspect

Great news Evil or Very Mad

I already booked mons with 5 other players from my club, something like that should be done already when the application comes in. We even have 1 player who only will play individual, it could be a very expensive trip for 1 game for him.
People complain that they want more games, and now you go to the biggest tournament and play maybe only 1 game?

I am also very unhappy with this. Not only for me but for my wife and son. How to play

I guess a lot depends on whether the "qualifying round" is straight knockout or groups with top player(s) to qualify to Sunday.

The first option is a very poor choice but the 2nd one not so bad maybe.
