The Board

To top the Leader Board and win prizes, you need to earn points. Every time you play in a tournament, the number of players, the buy-in and your finish rank determine exactly how these points are distributed and where you'll end up on the board. Roughly who gets points? The top 20% of finishers per tournament.

To earn rank and points on the Leader Board:

• you must enter a tournament that's open to the public
• it must not be a "Qualifier" for another tournament
• it must not be a Sit and Go.

Points Calculator

Here's where we do the math for you! Enter your tournament details to see how many points you've earned:

The formula used to calculate points for the Leader Board standings after each event is as follows:

Points = 10 * (SQRT (N)/SQRT(R)) * (SQRT (SQRT (B)) +0.2)

* N = Number of players entered in the tournament.
* R = Finish Rank of the player for the tournament.
* B = Buy-in of the tournament.
