== Overview ==

=== Qualification ===
Players must participate in [[Flight Club]] during the entire season, where players score 100s and are ranked after the entire season concludes (the week before the finals). After then, players are given a seeding based on their ranking from 1 through 4. The most recent winner, the reigning champion Lucas Brow is not returning to the team for the entirety of 2026; top seed of the previous edition, Paul L may not be returning, though he most likely. Third seed Brad D. is set to return after losing in the semi-finals of the last edition. Lachlan Stock, the fourth seed, will return in hopes of going one better. Alex Brow, who was the fifth seed in Winter 2025 edition, will return. 

The eight players that are part of Flight Club will score 100s throughout the normal season, and the top 4 become seeds so that they don't play each other in their first match. Players ranked 5th through 8th will be drawn at random against a random seed. 

=== Format ===
A new format will be used in the Summer 2026 edition; where in the Winter 2025 edition it was simply Best of 5 and Best of 7 Legs; the Summer 2026 edition will be much longer. The quarter-finals will be Best of 5; semi-finals will be Best of 7; and the Final will be Best of 9 legs. All matches will consist of games of 501, where players are required to reduce their score from 501 to zero in order to win a leg, finishing on a double or the bullseye.
