How to win the Grand Prix cash?
There are 4 tournaments in the Seneca Hill Grand Prix series, and a player can play in any number of them.
A player’s total score will be the sum of their 3 best scores. Players who play in fewer than three tournaments will still have the sum of their scores counted towards the consideration of the prizes, so for example, a player who scores 4 in 2 tournaments (4+4=8) will still finish ahead of a player that scores 2 in 3 tournaments (2+2+2=6). For players who change age groups, their score will be computed separately for each age group, and then the highest of the 2 will be their total score. Read the rest of this entry »
