There are 10 total tournaments in the tour: 6 labelled as Regular, 3 labelled as Major, and 1 Final. Each takes place towards the end of a month over the course of 9 days. However, after the first Major tournament (
Airthings Masters), it was concluded that 8 out of 12 players advancing to the knockout round rewarded cautious play, and the remaining Major tournaments (Magnus Carlsen Invitational and FTX Crypto Cup) were conducted with 16 players. For each of the Regular tournaments except for the first one, 8 of the 16 spots are given to the current top 8 players in the Tour Rankings. The rest of the spots are given out via wild cards, invitations, or popular votes. Additional points are also awarded to finishes in the preliminary round: The points system for Major tournaments is the same, but all values are doubled. In the event that two players are tied for the same number of Tour points, the following tiebreak system will be used: • Number of tournament wins • Number of tournament appearances (fewer is better) • Number of final appearances • Number of semi-final appearances • Number of quarter-final appearances The administrators of the tournament also have the right to substitute a tiebreak match if the tie is for a qualification spot.
