Total 32 players including the top 24 players after 12 games plus the next two Qatari youth players, the next two Qatari bowlers and the top four players from the Desperado Squad, advanced to the finals on February 26 and 27. The top six qualifiers earned a first-round bye.
The other 26 players bowled 6 games scratch with the top 10 advancing to the next round. Those ten and the top six qualifiers rolled another six-game block scratch to determine the top four players who advance to the playoffs.
The No. 1 seed meets the No. 4 seed and the No. 2 seed takes on the No. 3 seed over two games with the total pin fall to determine the winners, who bowl for the title and the $25,000 top prize in the two-game total pins championship match.
