The other player names link to a note explaining their qualification to this final. Mike Foust (APCT), David Novak (USCF) and Robert Chalker (CCLA) are nominees of their federations. John Skratulia has deferred his qualification from US15P06, so Barry Noble (who finished in 2nd place) was been invited to replace him. Ronald Pohle declined to play based on winning US15P09, so Keith Rodriguez (who finished in 2nd place) was been invited to replace him. Michael V. Cossette declined to play based on winning US15P10, so Alex Dunne (who finished in 2nd place) was been invited to replace him. John Mousessian used his qualification deferred from the 14th USCCC section US14P04. Edward Duliba used his qualification deferred from the 14th USCCC section US14P01.
