Unless otherwise noted: Three-flight open events are stratified as A/X (6000+/0-6000), B/C (1500-3000/0-1500) and Gold Rush (300-750/0-300). Two-flight open events are stratified as A/B/C (3000+/1500-3000/0-1500) and Gold Rush (500-750/200-500/0-200) or as A/X/Y (6000+/4000-6000/0-4000) and B/C/D (1500-3000/750-1500/0-750) if there is no Gold Rush. One-flight open events are stratified as A (3000+), B (750-3000) and C (0-750). Stratification is based on averaging the masterpoints of a pair or team. Eligibility for limited events will be based on the point holding of the highest player, so no player with more than 3000 may play in B/C events nor the Bracketed B Teams, no player with more than 750 may play in Gold Rush events, and no player with more than 300 may play in 299er events.
