You can then play in any tournament which awards qualifying spots and if you do well in them earn tour spots as well but would pay whatever the normel entry fees are. One other key bonus is that the top three in tour points who don't otherwise qualify will get an NHC birth through the tour. There are lots of things to like.
One potential thing to worry about in Florida is that the legislature has made any pay for play contest (including handicapping contests) illegal. That means there will be no in-person contests in Florida. Places like Tampa and Calder are out of the contest business.

It is a shame. I always liked the Tampa contests. I don't know how this became a priority for the Florida legislature but have to imagine that there are more pressing concerns in your state than whether we play in handicapping contests.
