2026 Closed Qualifiers

The following describes the steps to determine who has earned a spot in the Closed.
Qualifiers:
Defending Champion – Matteo Nero
Top 2 Grand Prix – John Julian, Matteo Nero
Top 3 Open – Matt Guthrie, Ben Vogel, Matteo Nero
Since Matteo qualified 3 different ways, we take the next 2 players in the Grand Prix standings to fill out the field. After skipping Matt, who was third in Grand Prix, this means that Brandon Arensmeyer and Luke Miller qualify for the Closed.
The final group is:
Matteo Nero
John Julian
Matt Guthrie
Ben Vogel
Brandon Arensmeyer
Luke Miller
If for some reason one of the qualifiers can’t play, Dan Mattson is the first alternate.
Congratulations to all the qualifiers !
