How to Qualify: The top three players from EVERY regular-season game win a free entry to the Weekly Nat'l Qualifier.

The notification contains a ticket/code for entry.

Note: Your host must enter your verified player account in tournaments to receive all benefits, and your FPN account should be created by you. If the host creates your account, it is likely not verified, and you are missing out on FPN notifications and prizes. For any player account issues, please submit a Support Ticket, and we'll help resolve your account.
