It’s never too late (OK, the final week may be too late!) to try and win this epic leaderboard. The GGMasters seems to continually grow each week and that means increasingly more points become available.
You earn points whenever you reach the money places of the GGMasters using the following formula: f * sqrt(Prize pool / k)
The “f” value changes depending on where you finish in the tournament. Its value is 1.0 for reaching the money, 1.5 for navigating your way to the final table, and 2.0 for becoming the tournament’s champion.
Its value is 0.5 for bursting the money bubble. The bubble usually “pays” five or six spots depending on the number of entrants.
