| 2nd | 8 |
| 3rd | 7 |

- Six (6) rounds of 8-player pods, following the same structure as Day One.
- Some players may receive a bye and will be awarded points based on the average of their other five rounds on Day Two (rounded up / better for the player)
- After the six rounds are complete, the 8 players with the highest points cut to the Top 8 race.
Top 8 Race
- Players' points reset at the start of the Top 8.
- The Top 8 is a "race" format over several rounds:
- After earning 10 points, players become "live" to win the event.
- The Top 8 continues until a "live" player takes a 1st-place in a match.
- Once that occurs, they are the winner of the event and the remaining players are sorted by points for standings.
Tiebreakers for Points
- Highest finish, second highest finish and so on.
- Day One point total
- Rank on March ladder
