Duelists that make the Top Cut at the North America WCQ will also earn World Qualifying Points.
The number of points that Duelists can earn is based on the final standings of the North America WCQ. So, if a Duelist makes the Top Cut and finishes in 64th place at the end of the event, that Duelist will earn 1 World Qualifying Point. The Duelist who finished 63rd place will earn 2 World Qualifying Points, etc.
(These points are separate from any other points earned to qualify for other KONAMI Organized Play events, i.e. Ultimate Duelist Series points used to qualify Duelists for the UDS Invitational.)
