How It Works

We will run Bracket Challenge events all season long whenever we reach 16 confirmed players in a given cap. Players may enter as many brackets as they wish throughout the season.

All Brackets are handicapped

If a player finishes in the Top 2 more than once, their additional qualifying spots will roll down to the 3rd-place finisher, starting with the second qualifying finish.

Final Bracket – November 2026

Top 2 finishers from each bracket will earn an invitation to the Final Bracket, taking place in November 2026.

        Final Bracket Bust Rule (All Caps Except 80 Cap)

  • A player may compete in the same cap they originally won as long as their current rating is within 5.00 points of that cap.

    If a player’s rating increases by more than 5.00 points, they will automatically be moved up to the next available cap for the Final Bracket. This rule applies to all caps except the 80 Cap.
