Mixed pairs that meet the Board rule and place in a concurrent Open PQP event will receive the PQPs equivalent to the placing in the mixed event. e.g a mixed pair that finishes 5th in the Wally Scott Open Swiss Pairs will receive 4 Mixed PQPs. This rule only applies if the events are concurrent, run for the same number of sessions and are both Teams (or both Pairs) events.
