Division 2
This division would include all players that do not meet the Div 3 status. Also in this bracket would be Div 2 players from the 2009 season that did not place in the top 2 spots overall. One Div 1 PLAYER MAY PLAY Div 2. Any D1 players placing in the bottom 2 spots with a minimum of 3 events played may elect to drop to D2.

A PRO player is any player that has made the playoffs (SUNDAY) in the NPPL/USPL or the PSP in 2009 or in 2010. Just playing on "PRO" team does not make you a PRO classifed player. Your team must make the playoffs, at the event that you played.
