Qualification for the State Closed Championship:
Only residents of Nebraska may qualify.

Winner of the GPO
The rest of the spots will be taken from the POY standings using plus scoring. 2 spots if the returning champion defends he title, 3 if he does not defend his title.
Note, there may have to be a tie-break playoff if there are multiple winners at the MWO, CSG, or GPO or if an individual wins 2 or all 3 tournaments (since the people tied for 2nd would have to play for the qualifying spot).
Plus Scoring:
Subtract losses from wins and floor at 0. Draws do not count. See how the scoring system works below.
