Eligibility is based on the Session 3 roster, and teams are required to finish in the top half of their division in each remaining session. The tournament uses a double elimination structure. With fewer than eight teams it runs as true double elimination from start to finish. With nine or more teams it is double elimination until the field reaches the final 4, 8, or 16 depending on entries, then single elimination to determine the winners. Grand Finals berths are allocated at one spot per 35 teams per format in each league area. Event winners earn a prize package valued at a minimum of $6,000, including travel funds, team jerseys, and Grand Finals entry. Teams finishing in the top 25 percent by GFQ placement may enter the Grand Finals by paying an entry fee of $2,750. If more than four Grand Finals slots are available and teams are tied in a losing round, total points in that round decide who advances. If still tied, a Six Ball Shootout determines the winner. Double Play is not permitted at the Qualifier or the Grand Finals, and all participants are subject to a UPScore audit. This event is designed to ensure that only strong, eligible teams from each division earn a path to compete for the league’s highest honors.
