Whether classics or main, you need to accumulate points in a max of 5 (out of 10) games. FWIW, this “full set” of 5 games equates generally to what we used to call an “Entry” back in the PAPA scoring days. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Free “game entries” are one game each, whether included in pre-registration or volunteer work. Registration gets you 2 games paid. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In sum, play 5 games and check your standings along the way. Then, each additional game is a sniper attempt, trying to get higher on one of the games or trying to get a better result on one of the alternate games. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Pump and Dump.
