At the end of the series, the top-performing players' best three tournaments will be tallied to determine the top player who qualify for the Mega Pot MoneyBall Finale on October 29th. In the event of a tie, qualifying players will be determined by averaging their partners' DUPR scores; the player with the lowest partner DUPR average will qualify. If a top player is unavailable to play in the finale, spots will be opened to players who have participated in prior series events or to the broader player pool with DUPR scores within the competition range.
