2025 Sunstein Series Rules
The Series acts as the qualifying series for entry into the Massachusetts Grand Prix, held Sunday, October 19 at Maple Hill for players in the following divisions: MPO, FPO, MA1, FA1, MP40 and FP40. Only the player’s top points earning finishes in each division count towards that division’s qualifying table. All other points finishes are considered “dropped” and do not count toward the final standings. The winner of the 2025 Sunstein Open at Mile Marker and 501 automatically qualifies for the Grand Prix. That person, and the next top points finishers in each of the six divisions, will be invited to the Grand Prix.
