3. Compete
The top 64 players on the Skill Leaderboard, based on overall score, will qualify for the World Championship.
The top 64 players from the Wildcard Leaderboard, based on cumulative score, will also qualify for the World Championship.
4. Watch the Boards
With global leaderboards, this competition will be fierce.
If you see your score drop, play again to fight your way back into the skill leaderboard! Alternatively, make sure your cumulative score is high enough to qualify as a Wildcard!
5. Check In
The online check in process will become available when the tournament closes. Hunters and Alternates MUST check in to reserve their spot at the World Championship.
Check in will begin on September 11, 2026. The last day to check in is September 17, 2026.
If a qualifier does not reserve their spot, players in the top 150 from the Wildcard Leaderboard that have checked in will be contacted as alternates.
