What are the Winter National Tour Finals?
The Finals bring together the most successful players, according to leaderboard positions, of the Winter National Tour, to determine the Champion in each age group at the end of the season. Players will have accumulated leaderboard points from each Winter National Tour event (grade 2) which will feed in to a leaderboard for each age group.
When will players know if they are in the Finals
The relevant players will be notified via email shortly after their last Winter National Tour event and once the final leaderboard is calculated.

What points count for the Leaderboard?
10U & 12U - Results from a player’s top 3 tournaments - i.e. the highest points from the qualifying event or main draw event, including consolation, will count towards the Winter National Tour leaderboard.
14U, 16U, 18U - Results from a player’s top 2 tournaments - i.e. the highest points from the qualifying event or main draw event, including consolation, will count towards the Winter National Tour leaderboard.
If an event has two stages such as Round Robin to Elimination, or Round Robin to Round Robin play off, the first Round Robin draw is the qualification draw.
Please note that draws which are not qualifying, main draw or consolation will count for ratings only.

- Fewest tournaments played and, if still tied, then:
- The highest number of points from one single tournament, then, if needed, the second highest etc., if still tied, then:
