DIVISION PLACEMENT NOTES

To ensure fair and balanced divisions, player placement in divisions will be based on the updated MCA 9W Index Ratings. Players requesting the Pro division not ranked in the top eight will be placed on a waiting list and the tournament manager will determine if a format can be implemented to include players beyond the top eight.
