Player of the Series Leaderboard

The most complicated part of the WPT Asia Series is the Player of the Series Leadboard with ¥3,000,000 ($430K) in prizes. Firstly, it only counts the top 10 scoring days for each player.

Secondly, it rewards 2,500 players from all tournaments:

RankPrize
1¥1,000,000
2¥500,000
3¥220,000
4¥140,000
5¥100,000
6¥70,000
7¥60,000
8¥50,000
9¥40,000
10¥30,000
11 — 20¥10,000
21 — 50¥5,000
51 — 100¥2,000
101 — 200¥1,000
201 — 500¥300
501 — 1,000¥200
1,001 — 2,500¥100

Thirdly, it awards different points to each player depending on the tournament tier and their finishing place. There are six shooting ranges, one of which is divided into one-day and staged events.

Finally, players can earn extra points as Early Birds, including for being eliminated in this status on the bubble. The number of points also depends on the tier:

  • Bronze — 1 point for Early Bird, 3 points for Early Bird Bubble
  • Silver — 2 point for Early Bird, 6 points for Early Bird Bubble
  • Gold — 3 point for Early Bird, 8 points for Early Bird Bubble
  • Platinum — 4 point for Early Bird, 12 points for Early Bird Bubble
  • Diamond (only ring events) — 5 point for Early Bird, 20 points for Early Bird Bubble

Being an Early Bird in phase tournaments, as well as being eliminated on the bubble in this status, does not give additional points on the leaderboard.
