Rules

As signed by all nine seat holders, effective July 19, 2026. This page is the summary — the signed Master Contract is the controlling document. Full version: Official Series Rules (PDF).

DUES & PAYMENTS

• $80 by 6 PMDues are due by 6:00 PM on tournament day. Accepted: cash, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Pay, Chime. Every payment is logged on the shared read-only ledger (see The Vault).
• Full-payment requirementThe WSOP packages and the 3rd-place prize each require that seat to be paid for all 11 months — by the original holder, a successor, or any combination.
• Shortfall waterfallIf the pool ever comes up short, prizes reduce in order: final-tournament bonus first, then the 3rd-place prize, then the two packages equally.

POINTS & TIEBREAKERS

• Points by finish1st = 9, 2nd = 8, 3rd = 7, 4th = 6, 5th = 5, 6th = 4, 7th = 3, 8th = 2, 9th = 1.
• Short-handed monthsAttendees always score from the top down. Paid absentees get 1 point each.
• Absent but paidPay your $80 by 6 PM on tournament day, take 1 point for the month.
• TiebreakersFor any tie in a money position: 1) most monthly wins → 2) higher finish in the final tournament → 3) live heads-up freezeout right after the final.

MISSED PAYMENT, CURE & SEAT TRANSFER

• One unpaid monthThe host starts lining up a replacement immediately. No ranked list — candidates are contacted directly, first to accept and pay takes the seat, host decision is final. No group votes.
• Cure windowThe original holder can save the seat by paying $160 (missed + current month) by 6:00 PM on the next tournament day.
• Miss the cure = transfer on the spotThe incoming player pays $160, inherits the seat’s FULL points, signs the Seat Succession block, and is dealt in that night.
• Forfeit is totalA player who loses a seat has no claim to points, dues paid, pool money, prizes, or profit sharing.

SUBS

• Three exclusive subs per seatDrafted at signing by high-card draw. A player can be on only one seat’s sub roster.
• One tournament maxEach sub can play ONE tournament all season — the limit survives any roster or seat changes.
• Results go to the seatAll points and cash won by a sub belong to the seat holder.
• BlackoutNo subs in the March, April, or May 2027 tournaments.
• Rosters don’t transferA new seat holder picks their own subs, under the same exclusivity and one-tournament limits.

SEAT SALES

• Host approval onlySeats sell or transfer only with host approval. Price is between seller and buyer.
• SuccessionThe incoming player brings the seat current, signs the Seat Succession block, initials all pages, and is dealt in — inheriting the seat’s points, obligations, and prize eligibility.

WSOP PACKAGES

• $2,960 eachFor the top two point earners. The $1,500 WSOP buy-in is paid on a merchant-locked one-time virtual card — usable only at WSOP, no cash. The remainder is paid as a travel stipend at booking.
• Upgrades & companionsPaid to Romper Room before booking. If the two winners share a room, the savings split into their stipends.
• Self-arranged travelAllowed — the airfare amount is added to your stipend and you own all arrival risk.
• Not sellableDecline a package and it passes to the next-highest point earner. Unclaimed by June 15, 2027 = split among the seats paid in full for all 11 months.

PROFIT SHARING

INTEGRITY & DISPUTES

• Play it straightNo chip dumping, soft play, or collusion.
