Once a team has qualified for the main event, whether through a qualifying event OR previous years qualifying performance, they may not attempt to qualify with another player unless first approved by the main event Tournament Director.
A mixed group of pro and am class players is not allowed.
Teams are only eligible to qualify for the main event once. Once a team has qualified, they are welcome to play in more qualifiers. However if that team finishes on the podium the qualifying spot will be awarded to the next top finishing team that has not qualified for the main event.
