Oh that's a very important distinction. There are 2 barcodes in top 16 GM who may have been planning to namechange on the 11th or 12th.

What I understand : an already qualified player (through last week tournament) can compete (in his case, only for the money) and try to get into top 16 gm, and if they end up first or second of the 13th 14th feb tournament, the guy arriving third is qualified? So the more already qualified people get into top 16 gm, the easier the qualification will be for the others?
Funny part is, I think there are 16 Europeans qualified already if I'm counting right. So theoretically you could have a situation where the top 16 are already qualified lol.

That would be hilarious, would number 17 and 18 on the ladder get the spots?

PtitDrogo only has 30 ladders games played so far? Seems odd that he wouldn't be laddering hard with this being his last shot to qualify.

uthermal also just started climbing and I'm sure Ptitdrogo and him will be top16 really fast, Showtime is rank 1 with only 70 games.

That's exactly what they're doing. Bonus pool makes this competition kind of silly :/

well everybody has bonus pool growing at the same rate, so i'd say it comes down to having a winning streak at the right time

Can someone clarify what exactly constitutes a "resident" of a country?
Citizens are obviously good to participate, but what about skilled immigrants holding permanent residence (green) cards?

Hm, players with a green card or permanent residency can play (Masa for example), but players on an P-1A (athlete) or student visa that reside in NA can not (Polt/Hydra/Violet I guess).
