Runners will be allocated points based upon their finishing position in qualifying events outlined below. 

The top qualifiers will be contacted a week prior to the final to confirm their position in the final 8. Greyhounds which have won more than 2 Category A (of the respective distance) events during the course of the series are still eligible for the final, but ineligible for further qualifiers. Greyhound must be nominated directly in to the event at the respective meeting for the nomination to be considered. Where greyhounds finish on the same points, the greyhound which has contested more legs of the series shall be deemed the highest ranked greyhound. Where greyhounds are still equal, the greyhound with the highest number of wins shall be declared the winner. Where greyhounds can no be separated in this form by placing in order, then a ballot shall be conducted. 

Category A meetings relate to meetings as per the GRNSW Grading Policy; eg: Wentworth Park Wednesday and Saturday, The Meadows Saturday, Sandown Thursday, Albion Park Thursday, Cannington Saturday.
