The Championship festival will kick off with several qualifier opportunities, including a $200 buy-in Bar Championship where the top 15% will advance to the Main Event.
All qualifier and chip booster events will award 20,000 chips for the Main Event with unlimited chip-ups. The player with the most chips to start the Main Event will be recognized with a $500 cash reward. Additionally, these events will feature a "Win Back Your Buy-in" opportunity, with the exception of the MEGA Top 25% Qualifier.
There will be $10,000 in mystery bounties in play in the Main Event, giving players an additional sweat as they chase the $25,000 up top with 27 places paid.
The Tag Team Championship, meanwhile, will award Championship belts and pay out $2,500 in cash with the final table advancing to the Main Event.
There will be live stream action on the FPN's YouTube channel for three events: the Bar Championship, Tag Team Championship and Main Event.
There were a number of changes to the FPN qualifying format for 2023, including:
- A new weekly national qualifier where the top three players in every league game earned an invitation to play. Weekly national qualifier tournament winners took home a direct seat in the 2024 FPN $100K World Championship Main Event.
- League champions earned a direct seat into the FPN Vegas $100K World Championship Main Event.
- Could pre-qualify for up to 4x starting stack (previously 3x)
Players could also still qualify through normal means, including online and local tournaments, drawings, instant win scratch cards, and the Tournament of Champions.
In January 2023, Minnesota's Joel Smith took down the FPN Chasin’ Bracelets National Championship in Las Vegas for his second FPN title and $11,500, while the eight other final tablists received $1,500.
