After practice, drivers are given two opportunities to qualify for the Top 32 tandem field. Each qualifying run is judged on three (3) criteria: Line, Angle and Style / Overall Impression. All drivers will make two qualifying passes, in reverse order of the current season standings (drivers with 0 points will start the qualifying while the current season leader will finish off each round of qualifying). In the event of a tie, the driver with the higher style score will earn the higher qualifying position.
