Starting in 2022, Performance Stars are longer deducted when a member gains entry to an Open or Junior All-Star Series tournament field.
This change was an overall simplification to the AJGA Performance Based Entry (PBE) System allowing a member’s priority for entry to be determined based on their amount of Performance Stars earned in the current and previous year combined with their membership Performance Star(s).
A player’s PBE status will continue to be calculated on a two-year cycle. Earned Performance Stars (and Fully Exempt status) are valid toward tournaments taking place in the year they are earned and will also be available for tournaments taking place until the end of the following year.
For example, Performance Based Entry (PBE) Status earned in 2023 is valid for tournaments played through the end of 2024. Toward the end of 2024, PBE Status earned in 2023 will be removed from the player account. 2023 PBE Status is not available to use toward tournaments that are played in 2025, even if those tournaments are fielded in late 2024.
