Ladders: Players can enter as many of the VRS Ladder Qualifiers as they wish, one entry per ladder. Players must qualify for the VRS Final Bracket by finishing at the top of one or more of the Ladder Qualifiers, according to the following schedule:
- Ladder 1: Six (6) players advance per game (30 players total)
- Ladder 2: Six (6) players advance per game (30 players total)

Players can qualify for only one spot in the VRS Final Bracket. If a player finished in a qualifying position in more than one VRS Ladder Qualifier, all but one of those qualifying entries will be disqualified and additional winners selected from the Ladder Qualifiers where entries were disqualified. When determining which entry will be kept for a player with multiple entries, the entry with the highest ladder point total will be kept. An entry will be selected at random in case of ties.
