qualifying begins at the club level, in specially
designated games. Players qualify by finishing in
the top half of their field (rounded up and including
ties) or by having a 50% or better game. Players may
compete as often as desired and with any partner.
Players who qualify in these club games are entitled
to go directly to the four-session District 8 Finals
held the second weekend in November in SPRINGFIELD,
IL, at the IDOT Bldg.
