$10 of each buy-in goes towards The Royal Championship and Player of the Year payouts.
Accumulate points and crowns to earn Player of the year status and qualify to play in the Royal Championship.
Player of the Year is calculated by multiplying your Average with your total crowns.

Crowns
Something new here for even the seasoned player.
Earn 1 crown if you make it to final table.
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.
Players that have acquired 10 or more Crowns by the end of the current season, will be directly invited to The Royal Championship.
Those with 9 or less crowns will be invited to play in the Gauntlet and wild card their way into the championship game.
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
