*New for 2010: Points accrued by each
contestant will be carried over to the next round of
competition. A contestant that does not finish in the top 10
during the quarter-final or semi-final round of competition, may
still advance to the next round of competition if his or her
total accumulated points score is among the top 10 accumulated
points in their respective round of competition.
As in the past, contestants tied for a
qualifying position will automatically advance to the next
round. Ties will only be broken among the Top 5 finishers in the
finals of any division.
