Starting in April, at the end of each month, the Top 16 players with the highest amount of Qualification Points that have not yet qualified will receive an Invite for the World Championship Main Event.
In the event that two or more players have the exact same amount of Qualification Points, the following tiebreaker strategy shall be utilized:
- Best individual result (in terms of points)
- Second best individual result (in terms of points)
- And so forth, until all points are exhausted.
In the case that all four Platinum/Gold results and all five Silver results are equal for two or more players that contend for an Invite, a tiebreaker bracket will be set up between the players. The format for this tiebreaker will vary depending on the amount of players who must play in it.
- 2 players: A single FT11+2 match
- 3 players: Round Robin; FT11+2
- 4+ players: Single elimination bracket; randomly seeded; FT11+2
