It was also reveal that the Best Finish Limit for Regionals will be six. That is less compare to the 2018-19 season. Perhaps this means that the Championship Points requirement for Worlds will be less. Though, it has not been announced how many points are required to attend Worlds 2020. Overall, this means that players best finishes at six Regionals will only count towards the point totals for their Worlds invite.
Best of luck to those who are chasing after a Worlds invite for 2020!
