Rules across all divisions
Semi Finals – If a competitor a) from previous year or b) seeded from leaderboard, does not show, the next person comes from the qualifying day, not the seeding list, so an extra person from the qualification day would go through.

What if i haven’t had a chance to qualify?
Day 1 is completely Open, so its best to register as soon as possible, to make sure you get a space. Winners from day one, will go through to semi finals.
