-Format-

Saturday Qualifying: Target Matchplay with (5,3,2,1) Scoring. Once a player reaches 49 pts they earn a spot in finals on Sunday and do not continue playing in qualifying rounds. Rounds continue until all final spots are filled. Once all finals spots are filled, anyone who didn’t reach the 49 pts target will be eliminated and their current standing will be their finishing position. The amount of players making finals will be based on total turnout and be announced before tournament start (likely between 16 and 32).

Sunday Finals: Euro Elimination Matchplay Bracket : Groups of Four, 2 Advance from each group (Finish first in 2 games = advance , finish last in 2 games = out. Play continues until 2 advance).

The survivor at the end of the bracket will be crowned the 2026 Silver Rush Champion and be awarded the *Silver Jacket*!!!!!!
