** These players are Temporary members. Temporary members do not qualify. To take up their position they must opt-in to full membership prior to 1 April, 2012 (see here).

In the event of the 1st player being unable to attend then the place will be given to the 2nd player. If that 2nd player has qualified in their own right or is unable to take up the position, then no-one will replace the missing player and the position will be taken up by an extra qualifier from the Saturday Main Qualifer tournament.

If any player comes 1st more than once their second (and subsequent) appearance(s) will be taken by a Saturday Main Qualifier; however, should they not attend the Finals then the person in 2nd place in the first appearance above will replace them if they have not already qualified in their own right as mentioned above.

Any player winning two or more events will not get a bye in the Sunday Main.
