(2) The winner of the 2009 Australian Championship
If either of these berths is unfilled for any reason, the place is taken by another player selected via ratings.
The secondary criterion is number of rated games within the qualification period. If two players have the same Q statistic, the one with the greater number of games in the qualification period is ranked higher.
While subperiods are incomplete the qualifying statistic is extrapolated.
