QUALIFIERS AND REGISTRATION
To enter the qualifiers, all individual players must have a minimum rating of 12,000. The range of ratings per division is as follows:
Note that both of you in the pair must be in the same rating division. Teaming up is entirely up to you. If a 14,900 player pairs up with a 13,500 player, they will compete in the EXPERT Division. Choose your partner wisely based on how your skillsets complement each other!
Once you know your division, you and your partner must play the official set of qualifier tracks designated for your division, take photos of your scores, and submit them on Timezone's website. Every single qualifier attempt must be played on an official Timezone Philippines cabinet. Head over to the Registration section of this document for more information.
