Points for the Queens Of Tallinn 2023 Team Challenge are calculated based on the prize money earned from a tournament, divided by the amount of the average tournament buy-in (without a fee).

Example:

  • Buy in: €315 + €35.
  • Unique Entries: 210
  • Re-entries: 80
  • Total Prize Pool: 290 x €315 = €91,350

Calculating winner’s points when winner received €18,270:

Total prize pool €91,350 divided by the unique player number (210 in this example)

  • €91,350: 210 = 435
  • Amount won: €18,270.
  • €18,270: 435 = 42

This player will receive 42 points + 1 participation point.

Players receive one (1) point for every Queens of Tallinn ranking event they play (excluding satellites and event #9) and additional points are earned by cashing from events, making the money. Please note that re-entries do not reward additional points.

In the case of a deal, all players involved in the deal will receive team challenge ranking points according to officially announced prize money of the lowest place involved. E.g., if for example three last remaining players of the tournament decide to split the prize money of the top 3 places, they will all receive points based on the amount of the officially announced 3rd place prize money, irrespective of the actual final payouts.
