The Finals bring together the most successful players, according to leaderboard positions, of the Winter National Tour, to determine the Champion in each age group at the end of the season. Players will have accumulated leaderboard points from each Winter National Tour event (grade 2) which will feed in to a leaderboard for each age group.
The relevant players will be notified via email shortly after their last Winter National Tour event and once the final leaderboard is calculated.
