of ASPA for the entire qualifying period.
2 players will be selected via
tournament win
1. The winner of the 2006 Australian Masters
2. The winner of the 2007 Australian Championships.
3 players will be selected via
ratings
- Qualifying period: Good Friday 2006 to Easter Monday 2007
(includes two National Championships).
- Qualifying statistic Q = (P1 + P2 + 2 x P3) / 4 which is a
weighted average of peak ratings in three trimesters (subperiods
of the
qualifying period).
- Trimester break points, 1 Aug 2006 and 1 Dec 2006.
- You must have an all time rating history of at least 150
games before peak 1.
- A trimester peak can only count at the end of a tournament
when you have played at least 12 rated games in that trimester.
- This implies that if you play fewer than 12 games in any
trimester, your peak for that trimester is zero.
- You must have 90 rated games in the qualifying period
before
the last peak.
- You must have played at least 100 games in the qualifying
period.
ELIGIBILITY
- All five must be Australian citizens or permanent residents
on
Easter Tuesday 2007.
- If either of the two selected by tournament wins declines
for any reason, their place will be taken by an additional player
selected
via the ratings qualification criteria.
- The restriction of 100 games played in the qualification
period will
apply also to the two selected by tournament wins.
Australia's WSC team was finalised on Easter Tuesday, 2007.
