Grand Prix Scores
There are 4 tournaments in the Grand Prix series in 2023-2024, and a player can play in any number of them.
A player’s total score will be the sum of their best scores. Players who play in fewer tournaments will have the sum of their scores counted towards the consideration of the prizes, so for example, a player who scores 4+4+4=12 will still finish ahead of a player that scores 2 in 4 tournaments, for a total score of 2+2+2+2=8. However, a player must participate in at least 3 tournaments in order to win the Grand Prix Scholarship.
