What does it take to qualify for GAM Junior Invitational Championship?

     What did it take to be invited to the first annual GAM Jr. Golf Invitational at Eagle Eye and Hawk Hollow? Like the PGA and LPGA Tours there is a qualifying process just to be eligible to be able to tee it up at the 36 hole tournament.  At first, the qualifying criteria seems stringent but after looking at the list, I think that the system is fair. I would like to see the TOP 50 Jr. Tour have their top 3 and winners of the Midwest Junior Championship be extended an invitation.
