Official Ranking System · Season 2026

How the ranking works.

One season, one leaderboard. Every eligible tournament you play earns points, and the top of the final standings wins a fully covered 2027 season.

Introduction

Three steps to the top.

Here is how you get from your first buy-in to a fully covered 2027 season.

1

Play

Compete in any eligible tournament of the 2026 season. Every event counts, except Satellites.

2

Earn points

Every buy-in earns Loyalty Points, every cash earns Achievement Points. Both add up to your season total.

3

Win passes

The top 7 receive Season Passes for 2027, worth 220,000 € in total. Rankings reset every season.

Point System

Two ways to earn points.

Points come from two sources: what you put in (loyalty) and what you take out (achievement). Both are added to your season total.

Loyalty Points

Tournament buy-ins are converted into points, rewarding every entry you make.

Total Buy-In × 0.1 = Points

Buy-In (€)CalculationPoints
15,300 €15,300 × 0.11,530
5,300 €5,300 × 0.1530
2,200 €2,200 × 0.1220

Achievement Points

Prize money is converted into points, rewarding deep runs and big finishes.

Prize Money × 0.2 = Points

Category Passes

Two more passes to win.

Winning a category ranking earns its own season pass, independent of the top 7.

The player finishing first in the 5K Million ranking receives a season pass covering the buy-ins for all five 5K Million events in the following year. The player finishing first in the 10K Championship ranking receives a season pass covering all five 10K Championship events.

These passes apply exclusively to their respective event categories and are granted based on final season standings.

The Fine Print

Rules & conditions.

  • Each new season begins with a full reset. Points do not carry over, are non-transferable, have no cash value and are valid only within the respective event series.
  • If multiple starting days are offered (e.g. Day A and Day B), participation on Day A is mandatory.
  • Points are only earned by actively playing. If a buy-in is paid but the player does not participate, no points are awarded.
  • Loyalty points are calculated on the full buy-in amount including the entry fee, for every entry made.
  • Bounty prizes are not included in the points system and are not considered for point calculations.
  • If a player is excluded from the series or receives a casino ban, all accumulated points and related claims are forfeited.
  • All tournaments count toward the official ranking except Satellite tournaments, which award no ranking points.
