See the leading players facing QT! (7) By the way, what is the "QT" that comes out when you talk about those who couldn't take the seed right? "QT" is an abbreviation of "Qualifying Tournament". This is a competition that competes for the ranking to play the following year. In Japanese, it is easy to understand if you say "qualifying rounds" and "ranking battle". Here, I will explain the QT of the Japanese women's tour. Previously, the ranking was decided after four stages, but since 2019, it has been held in two stages. This is because the total number of participants has decreased due to the limited QT participation to JLPGA members (including teaching members). Nevertheless, the number of participants in the final does not change, so it is still a harsh survival game. Last year, the number of games was reduced to 14 due to the corona evil, and the QT was not performed due to the long season with 2021. This year, which will be held for the first time in two years, the first stage will be 72 holes for four days from November 23 to 26. The three venues are set: Ogata Golf Club (Gunma Prefecture), Ise Country Club (Mie Prefecture), and Ono Toyo Golf Club (Hyogo Prefecture). Here, if you are a JLPGA member, you can participate if you enter. It is the final stage from November 30 to December 3 that the top players of each of the three venues will advance the pieces. In addition to the top stage of the first stage, there are several qualifications to participate in the final. This season's seed player who could not get the seeds next season, those who won the lower tour step -up, and those who were 3rd to 10th in the prize ranking. Katsuragi Golf Club Ukari Course (Shizuoka Prefecture), and if you go to the top here, you will be able to participate in the next season's game. That said, the decisive difference from the seed player is that you can not play all the games. The number of participants decided for each tournament will be filled with people who have various rights, such as the organizer recommendation, in addition to the prize seeds. The remaining frame can be used by the top QT rankings. If there are many players who are missing, more people will be able to participate from QT.
