$10 of each buy-in goes towards The Royal Championship and Player of the Year payouts.

Player of the Year is calculated by multiplying your Average with your total crowns.
There will be monetary payouts for POY and the next two runner-ups.

Crowns
Something new here for even the seasoned player.
Earn 1 crown if you make it to final table. Another crown if you make it to top 4.
These are very important towards your Player of Year score.
Crowns will also earn you bonus chips for either the Gauntlet or The Royal Championship.
The top 21 players with the most points by the end of the current season, will be directly invited to The Royal Championship.
All others in 22nd or worse place will be invited to play in the Gauntlet and wild card their way into the championship game. You must have played at least one league game to play.
Final Table
Some special rules apply when players want to discuss a chop. First and foremost, if even 1 player says “No” to a chop, then there will be none. ALL players must come to an agreed chop for it to happen.
If no chop is accepted, then it can not be proposed again until a player is eliminated, and before action starts in the hand immediately following. Once action starts in the next hand, a chop can’t be proposed until another player is eliminated.
In a chop, points will be based on player’s chip amounts. In the case of a tie, players will draw for high card.
