As you can see above, it only takes 34 points to finish in the top 10 and this can easily be achieved if new players finish in first or second place in the last event and make sure they use their wild cards to receive double league points.
To choose a wild-card event players need to announce it before the start of the chosen event in the dedicated forum thread.
Remember, players only need to finish in the top 27 to secure a spot in the League Final and currently the player in 27th place, "lariam," has 21 points. This will be easy to catch if you put in a big finish in the final league event, so make sure you don't miss out.
Each heads up tournament will award league points a bit differently due to the nature of the heads up format.
| Place | League Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 20 |
| 2nd | 16 |
| 3rd-4th | 13 |
