How do the Finals and Semi-Finals work with points in the MFP.

All points, and any decisions in regards to points, is the sole discretion of MFP. All disclaimer decisions are final.

Semi-Finals and Finals info (location - time for each season will be posted on website as soon as determined).

Each season lasts 3 months, start and end dates are posted on the website. During each season players can accumulate points towards the season ending Finals Tournament for huge payouts. The Finals are really what points are all about! So let's start there.

FINALS:

Players can qualify for the Finals in 3 ways:

1. Season Ending Venue Leaders
2. Be at the Top of the MFP Leaderboard points
3. Win a Finals seat from the Semi-Final Tournament

1. Each Venue that has a weekly tournament in a MFP season can have a Season Ending Venue Leader (SEVL). SEVL is defined as any player who plays MFP weekly tourneys at a given venue AND accumulates the most points for that Venue for the season.

• Venues may choose to host MFP tourneys, that are not part of the SEVL.
• Venues can choose to not participate in SEVL.
• Venues may have multiple weekly tournaments, which can result in 1 SEVL.
• Any player can only win 1 SEVL per season.
• In the event of any ties between players for any SEVL, the tiebreaker will be:
  Most Venue Wins, Most 2nd places, etc, ..., progressive.
• All SEVLs who pre-qualify for the Finals are EXCLUDED from 2. and 3.

2. Be a player at the top of the MFP Leaderboard and you can pre-qualify for the Finals. Players with the most point across all MFP tournaments pre-qualify for the Finals, by this formula:

* MFP Leaderboard qualifiers are EXCLUDED from 3.
