MTPSS -  Modified Tournament Performance Point Score
This is a change from the previous qualification through rating.  The rating provision did not properly recognize activity or recent results of relatively inactive players. It also did not recognize any non-CFC events.  SO the MTPPS is calculated as follows:
A Loss = 0 points
A Draw = the rating of the opponent
A Win = the greater of [your opponent's rating + 200] or [your rating]
The top ten performance scores for each player are counted
As of September 25(not including Sept TNT), the top 10 players are (unofficial):
