In BPDL 2019 there will be 4 Events and each of them will be held as a separate tournament. All stages of BPDL, as well as qualification and Finals will be hosted in Latvia.
Only players who will participate in at least 2 Events of BPDL and won’t qualify for the Finals after the 4th Event based on the BPDL Order of Merit or by winning one of the Events, will be eligible to participate in qualification tournaments. 2 qualification tournaments will be played both in the same day and winner of each tournament will earn the right to participate in Finals.
Qualification entry fee allows player to participate in both qualification rounds. However, if player wins the first qualification tournament, he/she can’t participate in the second one, since he/she has earned the place in the Finals already.
Only 16 players will participate in BPDL Finals tournament. These players will qualify based on the following criteria:
- 4 (four) places – individual winners of each BPDL Event
- 10 (ten) places – best players out of BPDL Order of Merit
- If any player out of TOP10 is also a winner of one of the BPDL Event, his place will be automatically filled by the next player out of TOP10, since the winner of the Event has already earned the place in the finals. This will be done, until all 10 places are filled.
- 2 (two) places – each qualification tournament winner
* The format of Qualification and Final tournaments can be changed according to amount of participants in BPDL tours.
