COPC: LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR MONEY, POINTS AND FAME!

There are lots of ways to qualify to play in the COPC National Finals. All players who finished in the top 50% of the COPC's Club Qualifying Round may play in the COPC National Final. Or, you may purchase club qualification for $50, which you must do at least 2 weeks before the National Final. Anyone who qualified for the CNTC or the CWTC National Final has also qualified for the COPC National Final. Players from the CNTC or CWTC Semi-finals, that do not qualify for the Finals, will be allowed to drop into the COPC final with a 1 board carry-over. And note: you all qualify as individuals! You may play in the National Final with any partner that has also qualified for the event.
