At the CCC Regional Tournaments in February, the following formula will be used to select the number of players that will qualify to play at the Provincial Final in St. John's in March:
 |
1 - 3 players in grade => top 3 will qualify, |
|
|
4 -6 players in grade => top 4 players will qualify, |
|
|
7 - 9 players in grade => top 5 players will qualify |
|
|
10 - 12 players in grade => top 6 players will qualify |
|
|
13 - 15 players in grade => top 7 players will qualify etc... |
Note that these numbers qualify in addition to past/previous/defending grade champions who have earned the right to advance automatically to the Provincial Final through past accomplishment (provided they play in a regional tournament). Therefore, a high number at a regional should not prevent well deserved individuals from qualifying.
At the Provincial Final, the top player in each grade will be offered a place on the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Team that will play in Moncton, New Brunswick, in May against all the other provincial teams.
