How players qualify for the Tournament of Champions.
Sunday, December 6, 2026 · 4 PM Eastern
Seven venues. One season. Exactly 54 seats.
1. Automatic qualifiers
These players earn a Tournament of Champions seat before the venue playoffs.
Up to 21 seats
Top 3 at each venue
The top 3 players in points at each venue earn automatic ToC seats: 7 venues × 3 players.
Up to 10 seats
Top 10 in wins
The top 10 players in total wins earn automatic ToC seats. Players must have more than one win (at least 2) to be eligible. Points are the tiebreaker.
These categories provide up to 32 automatic seats. A player qualifying through multiple routes occupies only one seat.
2. Venue playoff tournaments
Top 30 eligible
Who can play?
You must be in the top 30 in points at that venue before its playoff to be eligible.
Final tournament
Which game is the playoff?
The final tournament of the season at each venue is used as that venue's playoff.
3 new qualifiers per venue
Who advances?
The top 3 finishers who have not already qualified earn ToC seats. Seven venue playoffs provide 21 new qualifiers.
The spoiler rule
Players who have already qualified still play in the playoffs as spoilers. They do not consume an advancement seat. Seats move down the finishing order until 3 new players qualify from that venue's playoff.
Venue championship allocations are subject to management’s determination. If a venue closes or is replaced, management will determine whether results are combined with its replacement and how automatic ToC seats and playoff advancement seats are allocated.
3. Wildcard seats
After all automatic qualifiers and venue playoffs are complete, any remaining seats up to 54 go to the highest-ranked players by total season points who have not already qualified.
This includes seats made available by players who decline their earned seat. Wildcards are awarded only after all playoffs are complete.
Keep playing. Follow your race.
The final ToC field is capped at 54 players. Check the overall and venue standings to follow your qualification opportunities throughout the season.
