How do you qualify for the $28K Freeroll?

Tournament Players: Earn points by finishing in the top 5 of any tournament. The top 5 tournament point leaders each month (January through May) will secure their spot in the Freeroll.

Cash Game Players: Earn 1 point per hour of live NLH cash game play. The top 5 cash game point leaders will qualify each month (January through May). Note: Players must check in and out at the bank to log their hours.

Points Multipliers: Earn extra points at specific venues. 1️⃣❌ to 2️⃣❌ depending on the location. The points modifier will be listed on the event page of the CCG poker website. Some venues are 1.5x points for Tournament, but not cash games and vice versa. Please check the individual event details page of the website to see if an upcoming event will have bonus points.

Bonus Points for Cash Game Players: Earn one extra hour per event for purchasing chips prior to the start of the event. For example, buying chips at 1:50 for a 2pm start would qualify for an additional hour on your time logged that day. Buying in at 2:10 would not qualify you for the bonus hour.

Misc Rules:
Each player may only qualify for 1 seat. FREEROLL seats are not transferable. Main Event Seats are not transferable. There is no cash value on the seats won. There will be five alternates given out via a combination of bubble busters sit n go, social media giveaways, top point earners who did not qualify directly, and random drawings for players who cannot make the June 13th, 2026 Freeroll.  Cash Game players are responsible for checking in and checking out at the bank to receive their proper hours. Any player who does not check out will receive a maximum of two hours of time. Players have until the next update (weekly on Thursday morning) to notify CCG of any incorrect points. After the allotted time, points may not be awarded with out special exemption.

Tournament Points Tie Breakers: 
In the case of a tie of the top 5 in points for the tournament point list, the player with the most cashes will be awarded the freeroll seat. This means that the two players both have 25 points to qualify for 5th and 6th place. Player A received points in three tournaments, and Player B received points in four tournaments for the same point total. Player B would be the player who placed in the top 5 more times than Player A, and would be awarded the freeroll seat. Player A, in this situation, would qualify for the Bubble Buster Sit N Go.

Bubble Busters Alternates Sit N Go:
To fill out our $28 000 Freeroll with a full 54-player field, the hosting charities will run a 10-person bubble-buster freeroll for an additional three seats. Fifty qualifiers, plus the winner of the 2026 Titan, plus three bubble buster winners to combine for a total of 54 players. The bubble buster sit n go is for the ten players (five cash game players and five tournament players) who finish 6th on the points list in any month. If a player finishes 6th in one month but qualifies for the tournament, the bubble buster seat will go to the next player on the list.

Freeroll Alternates for No-Shows
If a qualified player is unable to attend the Freeroll, their seat will be assigned to an alternate. Alternate selections will correspond to the 4th place finish in the Bubble Busters Sit N Go. Any no shows will be awarded to the next finisher on the Bubble Buster Sit N Go!
