Ok, let me take a stab at this...

Here's a setup based on what a friend's league does that I've adapted to take into consideration the ideas of the posts already in the forum:

Year is divided up into 4 quarters.

In each quarter, your top ten finishes are used to compute points (the average quarter would be 13 weeks, so missing up to 3 events doesn't make it too difficult to qualify).

Each quarter, the top 2 players automatically qualify for the year-end tourney.

If an automatically qualified player is again in position to auto-qualify, then the next highest non-qualified player earns a spot.

At the end of the year, excluding the eight auto-qualified players, ten at large qualifiers are added to make up a final tournament of 18. The ten at large qualifiers are determined by adding together the quarterly scores and taking the ten highest (that are not already qualified).

If two tables seems to be too large then cut all the numbers of qualifiers in half so only the top 4 quarterly players plus 5 at large players make the final tourney.

Thoughts?
