In the event a player wins a CNSC spot at the QT and also qualifies by PR, the next best finisher at the QT will be awarded a spot in the CNSC. |

The following rules had been established for CNSC qualification periods.
Joel Wapnick receives an automatic berth as defending champion.
Players who wish to qualify for any of the remaining 51 berths must meet a minimum participation requirement. Players will be credited for rated NASPA tournament games played and directed within the qualification period. This requirement varies by province and is based upon each player's primary residence:
Forty-eight berths will be awarded based on peak rating (PR). A player's PR is defined as his/her highest rating that satisfies the following conditions:
If two or more players have the same PR, then the tie will be broken by each player's second highest PR eligible rating. If the players are still tied, the tie will be broken by the drawing of lots.
It is the intention of the Canadian Committee to award the three remaining berths based on a qualifying tournament (QT). However, if the QT is cancelled for any reason, the berths that would have been awarded based on the cancelled QT will be awarded based on PR.
The Canadian Committee awarded the Qualifying Tournament to the Montreal Club. It was a one-day event, held on Saturday, April 27, 2013. The site was Cote St Luc, Quebec.
The three players who earned 2013 CNSC berths from the April 27 QT were as follows:
Current qualification standings will be updated regularly until the close of the qualification period. The qualification period for the 2013 CNSC is now over. The list of 48 PR qualifiers has now been decided. (See the link for those standings.) The 12 players outside the top 48 who submitted their entry fees on time will be listed as alternates. If you believe you have been wrongly omitted from either list, contact John Chew and/or the Canadian Committee immediately.
Players within the top 48 may withdraw from the event without penalty until May 10. Players who withdraw from the event after May 10 will forfeit their entry fees.
Players who withdraw from the event or from the list of alternates cannot be reinstated.
Any Canadian NASPA member is welcome to show up at the CNSC venue on June 21 as a standby in case there are last-minute withdrawals or no-shows.
Because they paid their entry fees but did not qualify for the CNSC in the top 48 PR spots, these players are the CNSC's alternates in case players in the top 48 withdraw between May 5 and the start of the CNSC on June 21. They are listed in descending order based on their respective PR standings. Please contact John Chew or the CC immediately if you believe you have been wrongly omitted from this list.

Any dispute regarding the application or interpretation of any of the above rules and guidelines will be resolved by the Canadian Committee, whose decision will be final.
