The third 2008 Dust-Off Championships Qualifier is here, and teams are ready to earn their auto-berth for the Championships Final. Thirteen teams from across the east coast have come together to battle it out against the #1 ranked team, EG.usa, for their shot at the $2500 Cash Purse + prizes.

With only thirteen teams attending, the format for this event will be a little bit different then the past two qualifiers. As the #1 ranked team in the event series, EG.usa will receive an auto-berth into Day 2. Twelve teams will be seeded and will play in groups of four. The top two teams from each group will advance to join EG.usa in the double elimination bracket.

There will be ONE wild card team joining the 7 teams already in Day 2. This team will be taken from the pool of third place finishers in each group. Group winners are determined first by Matches Won, Heads-Up, and Rounds Won - Rounds Lost. The wild card spot will be awarded to the third place team with the highest score of total rounds won - total rounds lost. All matches in group play will play out their entire 30 rounds.
