• The points of all four team members will be summed up and the team with most points will be announced as winners of the Team Challenge
• Points for the Team Challenge are calculated by the prize money earned from a tournament, divided by the amount of the tournament buy-in (without 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

• The buy-in size that will be used for awarding ranking points in multiple buy-in tournaments (rebuy and re-entry events), will be calculated by the average actual buy-in amount of all the players who entered the tournament (prize pool divided by the number of players)
• Deals: all players involved in a deal get points according to the worst position. i.e. if last two players make a deal, both get points according to second place
• Players also receive 1 point for every ranking event they play. Re-entries or rebuys do not reward additional points.
• Team registration will close July 27, at 14:15, after first break in Main Event 1B. In order to receive points for a ranking event prior to that, the team has to be registered before the respective event starts.
