What happens if someone wins who is already invited to 2004 Worlds?
If a player wins who has previously qualified for Worlds in San Francisco the Airfare and accommodations will be awarded to that player while the invitation to 2004 Worlds will pass down to the player with the best finish who is not already invited to Worlds. The final Swiss standings will determine the difference between third and fourth place and the difference between fifth through eighth place, should that be necessary.
