* Byes are awarded to the winning Canadian or United States player and are awarded at the National Championships corresponding to the player’s nationality. A Canadian player is therefore eligible to win a bye at the Canadian National Championships from an event hosted in the United States, and vice versa.
Byes do not “stack.” If you have won a bye in another event, either a different SPT Championships event or a Regional Championships, you will receive the largest bye you have earned. You will not receive the sum of all the byes you earn.
