To be eligible for recognition, candidates had to enter a minimum of 3 separate events. Companion events within an event, such as Sweepers, Early Bird Tune-Up or "VIP" tournaments are not considered seperate events. Although more emphasis is placed on the main events, achievements in companion events are taken into consideration as was total earnings.
   Award winners will be presented with a special plaque, commemorating their achievements. In addition, $1,000 will go towards a scholarship fund for junior players established in the name of each recipient.
