Regional Qualifiers and the NAHBPC 2019 will be Squad. The process for shifting from Squad to 3v3 for WHBPC was discussed and decided on by Regional Reps and the NAH Tournament Director and is as follows.
Traditionally we use NAHBPC as a qualification ground for WHBPC. We have only ever needed this system when WHBPC is on North American soil. Every time WHBPC has been held abroad, there has always been more spots available to the main event than teams interested in attending. If that trend were to continue, all of the following information is irrelevant.
With that said, the NAH feels that it is important that the players interested in NAHBPC and WHBPC understand the process for selection if more teams are interested in attended WHBPC than NAH has awarded spots.
WHBPC 2019 spots will be awarded based on success at the NAHBPC 2019
This system will involve reaching out to qualified teams immediately following NAHBPC and working down the list as spots become available. If there are still spots remaining after going down the list of finishers at NAHBPC, a general call will be made. The process for qualifying from NAHBPC is as follows:
- Team of 6 Will be awarded 2 full spots and will require 5/6 players attending
Team 1 (Player A, B, C); Team 2 (Player D, E, + added player). Both teams qualifying. - Team of 5 will be awarded 2 full spots and will require 5/5 players attending
Team 1 (Player A, B, C); Team 2 (Player D, E, + added player). Both teams qualifying.
If only 4 players wish to attend please refer to ‘Team of 4’ - Team of 4 will be awarded 1 spot with a maximum of 3 members from the original 4 attending
Team 1 (Player A, B, C) qualify; Player D excluded.
