Only the top 12 are considered qualified after opening round of qualifying,
because often that is in night air offering better conditions and better
times.
This allows the bottom 4 slots to be wide open during day condition
qualifying. It doesn't mean the top 12 can't get bumped down, but
guarantees the bottom 4 slots are open after that first day or night
qualifying.
