The Netherlands has one extra ELM slot (because a major NL event was cancelled). This ticket goes to the player with the highest NL League score across all Dutch qualifiers, as long as they haven’t already qualified via a direct win-slot (otherwise it passes down to the next eligible player).

Which events count?
•    Bazaar of Boxes Series (4)
•    5 Elements Apeldoorn (1)
•    Haarlem Magic Nights (HMN) as one package: multiple prelims + a final

Score per event (BoB Series / 5EM / HMN prelims)
We use the points from the final standings and your score is based on:
•    Points relative to the winner (e.g. 15 points vs 20 = 75%)
•    Event size (bigger events count heavier)

HMN package
•    From the HMN prelims, only your best 2 results count (quality > grind)
•    The final counts extra: 1.5×
Attendance bonus to encourage full events (but capped):
•    +5% per extra prelim above 2, max +20% (bonus on top of your “best 2” prelim score)
•    The invitational/last season’s final counts as a final and as an attendance participation for building the attendance bonus (because those 8 players couldn’t also play the open prelim in that combined setup)

If you play both finals, only your best final result counts as the final component (weighted 1.5×); playing a final still counts as an attendance participation since it replaces the concurrent open prelim.
