Taking place over June and July, for each tournament, the Quarter-Finalists will qualify for the final week on July 24 and 25.
On these dates, four groups of six players will start with the top two from each group then facing off. The finalists will play at the World Cup while the winner claims a World Championship spot.
This likely will be then utilised for other Asian countries such as Japan, Singapore and China to fill up spots that mostly would be completed using the Asian Tour.
