Overview

Real competition, real stakes

Every Saturday the tournament row becomes an arena: qualifying rounds on featured machines, a live leaderboard, and a 16-player final bracket under the lights at 22:00. The format rewards consistency — not just one lucky fever.

Monthly winners feed the Grand Final, where the season's best play for the champion's board, the lounge trophy and $1,000 in prize-counter credit. Qualifying is open to everyone — most finalists were first-timers a year ago.
