Qualification

Participants received 1 point for completing the 1st round, 2 points for completing the quarter-final, 3 points for completing the semi-final, 4 points for completing the final, and 5 points for winning the final. They are then ranked in most events according to best time; in Shooting Accuracy and Passing Precision they are ranked by most targets hit (T) in fewest attempts (A) then in the best time; and in Fastest Shot by highest speed.

The players are ranked (Rk) by total points (Pt). If still tied, by number of better skill rankings (number of ranks 1; if the same, number of ranks 2; if the same, number of ranks 3, etc.). If still tied, by overall seeding for the phase.^[2]

The eight highest ranked will qualify (Q) to the Grand Final with the ninth and tenth ranked on reserve (R) for the Grand Final.
