Masters and Wild Card: the season final
Every night of the season, each player adds a little to the Masters pot. At the end of the year the league meets for one big poker day: everyone who missed out plays the Wild Card for the last two tickets, then the nine best players of the season sit down at the Masters final to play for the whole pot.

A season that ends with a final
A regular league crowns whoever collects the most points. A Masters season adds one more night: the best players of the year meet at one final table and play for a prize the whole league has built together, night after night.
The Masters pot grows every night
At every regular tournament each player puts a small extra amount into the Masters pot. Poker League adds it up automatically — it is shown on the tournament clock and recorded in the league finances — so by the end of the season everyone can see exactly what the final is worth.
Who gets a seat at the Masters
By default the Masters final table has nine seats, filled in this order:
- M1–M5: the five players with the most season points.
- Two % seats: the best ratio of points earned to points possible, among players who played at least 33% of the season's tournaments — so a strong player who missed some nights still has a way in.
- Two Wild Card seats: won at the Wild Card tournament on the day of the final.
Every number is a setting of the season: points seats, % seats, minimum attendance and Wild Card seats. Admins can also qualify players directly.
The Wild Card tournament
Everyone who did not qualify gets one last chance. The Wild Card is played before the Masters, as a freeze-out with no rebuys and no add-ons, and the last players standing win the remaining Masters seats.
The Masters final
The nine qualifiers sit at one table. Season points become starting chips (100 chips per point), so the league leader starts with the biggest stack, but every seat has a real shot. The winner of the Masters takes the pot that the whole league collected over the season.
Three titles at the end of the year
- League champion — the most points over the whole season.
- Masters champion — the winner of the final table.
- Eliminator of the year — the player who knocked out the most opponents.
A live race all season long
The Masters page shows the line-up as it stands after every tournament: who holds M5 and who is chasing it, who holds the last % seat, who is mathematically safe or out, and a countdown to the final. Every player follows the race on their phone.
Frequently asked questions
How many players play the Masters?
Nine by default: five by points, two by percentage (with at least 33% attendance) and two from the Wild Card. Every number can be changed in the season settings.
What is the % seat?
It rewards quality over quantity: the share of possible points a player actually earned. Only players who played at least the minimum share of the season's tournaments can take one.
Who can play the Wild Card?
Every league player who did not already qualify for the Masters. It is a freeze-out: no rebuys and no add-ons.
Where does the Masters prize come from?
From the Masters pot: a small extra amount each player pays at every regular tournament. Poker League collects it per tournament and shows the running total on the clock and in the finances.
Do season points matter at the Masters?
Yes. Season points become starting chips (100 chips per point), so a strong season gives a bigger stack at the final table.
Which package includes the Masters?
The Masters, the pot and finances are part of the paid packages. The free package covers standings, the clock and registrations.
