Strati-Flighted Open Events are divided A/X, (3000+/0-3000);
separate from B/C/D, (1000-1500, 500-1000, 0-500).
Strat breaks for stratified events are: A (1500+), B (500-1500), C (0-500).

The “Side Game Series” was formerly the “Continuous Pairs”. Each side game in each series is a stratified red-point side game with its own overall awards. Entrants are not obligated to play in prior or subsequent sessions. Stratum A section tops will become gold if a player plays in two or more games in the same series. Gold-point series overalls will be based on a player's two best percentage scores in that series.
