2019 Qualifier Main Draw will be played to COMPLETION.

Players MUST Play & Complete the District Qualifier to be endorsed to the Midwest Outdoor Closed. Play & Complete is defined as playing all points including the final point of the match (A retirement, walkover or default in the player's final match including any FIC matches - will cause the player to no longer be eligible to be endorsed to the Midwest Outdoor Closed).

NO APPEAL PROCESS for 2019. A player will not be endorsed if they do not fulfill the Play & Complete Requirement.

WILDCARD for each division. SEM will employ a "wildcard" for any vacated Quota Spot. This means that if a Quota Spot player in any division vacates their Quota position (earns the Quota Spot position but does not play the Midwest Closed), that Quota Spot will be given to our top Alternate in that division using the Midwest Standing List posted after Boys District Qualifier (June 4th). Wildcards are limited to one (1) per division and will not be used for any other reason.

All other players who play and complete the Southeast Michigan Qualifier will be endorsed as Alternates into the Midwest Closed Outdoor Championships in order of their Standing Position on the Midwest Section Standing List published after the last weekend of all District Qualifiers (June 18th). Alternates will be taken into the Midwest Closed Outdoor Championships from ONE pool of alternates at the Midwest Section level.
