APA Spotlight
This tournament is a second-chance at gaining eligibility to the Everglades APA World Qualifier. Best of the Rest is held in July immediately. Only teams that play and lose in Session Playoffs are invited to Best of the Rest. Teams are playing for qualification only at this tournament. Matches will be played on two tables throughout the event, if available, to shorten round times. The same roster that participated in the Spring Session will be eligible to participate in this Best of the Rest Tournament.
THIS FORMAT EVENT IS EFFECTIVE STARTING THE 2023-24 LEAGUE YEAR.
Handicaps for This Event
All players participating in the Best of the Rest Tournament will play at their highest session ending handicap from the session they qualified for the event or what they are currently playing as in the current session – whichever is the higher of the two skill levels.
Common Players
If two teams meet up with a common player(s) during any Tri-Cup Tournament, the common player(s) will sit out of the match completely. A player may not quit one team to participate with another team at this tournament.
Remaining Eligible for This Event
A team must participate the following session, in the same format they qualified in, with at least four original members, with the minimum matches played, to remain eligible for the Best of the Rest Tournament. The roster a team will use in the Best of the Rest Tournament is the roster they had the 4th week of the Spring Session. A player who does not return to the qualified team, will not be able to participate with the team.
Entry Fee for the Best of the Rest Event
The team entry cost will be $100 per team. This entry fee will be added to the Everglades APA Players Fund to help support all the team in Las Vegas this league year.
Bracket for this Tournament
This will be a modified single elimination tournament. This guarantees each team to play at least 2 team matches during the tournament. The bracket size will be determined by the total number of entries. No split bracket will be used for this bracket. The Top 2 teams in each format will earn a berth in the World Qualifiers in August.
