How to play

Exempt players: invitation

Players meeting exemption criteria are invited and accepted upon official application, guaranteed a spot unless more than 90 exempt players accept in a division. In that case, entry is prioritized by exemption level (S1 before S2, and so on).

Apply to Play

Players outside the exemption categories may formally apply, ideally with a playing resume; resumes and rankings are used to fill the remaining spots at the Championship Committee's discretion, and all decisions are final.
