Every season ends the same way: the league's best players, one table at a time, until there's one champion — and roughly $600–$800 in cash split at the final table. Free to enter, like every other night. Here's how you get a seat.
Seasons run 15–18 weeks. To qualify for the Tournament of Champions, you'll typically need:
Earned from finishes, premium hands, and bounties.
Earned from podiums, Second Chance wins, and venue support.
Short on Regular Points but sitting on extra Bonus Points? If you've earned at least half the required RP, you can convert surplus BP to close the gap. Requirements may be adjusted by the league each season.
