There will several other FIDE Futurities throughout the year - Priority for non-FIDE rated players' participation will be loosely based on:

a. Number of FIDE rated games (ie progress towards rating -  nine games are required to get a rating)
b. CFC rating

c. Activity in local tournaments

and of course availability to play in the tournament.
