The only exception is the Kings of Tallinn 2026 Main Event, where team registration closes on Friday, 13th February at 12:00 local time. 

• All four team members must play a minimum of one Kings of Tallinn 2026 tournament to be eligible for prizes. 

• The points of all four team members will be added together, and the team with the highest total will be declared the winner of the Kings of Tallinn 2026 Team Challenge. 

• The winning team will be announced on Monday, 16th February, after the final Kings of Tallinn 2026 tournament has been completed and all points have been verified. 

• Team Challenge points are awarded for tournament participation (attendance points) and cash finishes (cash points). Satellite events, re-entries, and rebuys do not earn points, while Women-only and Seniors tournaments are eligible for team points. 

• Players earn attendance points once per eligible tournament entered, based on the buy-in level: 

1. one point for buy-ins of €555 or less 

1. two points for €1,100 or €2,000 

1. three points for buy-ins from €3,000 to €5,000

 regardless of the number of entries.

• Players earn additional Team Challenge points when they cash in an eligible tournament. Team Challenge points are calculated by dividing the amount of the tournament buy-in (without fee) with the prize money earned from that tournament.

 Example

Buy-In: €315 + €35
Unique Entries: 210
Re-entries: 80

Total Prize Pool: 290 x €315 = €91,350 -5%

Calculating winner’s points, when winner received €18,270:

Net prize pool total €91,350 – 5% = €86,782,50 divided by the unique player number (210 in this example)

 €86,782,50:210 = 413,25

Amount won: €18,270

€18,270:413,25 = 44,2

This player will receive 44,2 points + 1 participation point

• Deals: all players involved in a deal get points according to the worst position. i.e., if the last two players make a deal, both get points according to second place​.

• In the case of a deal or prize money redistribution, all involved players receive Team Challenge points based on the lowest finishing position in the deal, regardless of the actual or privately agreed-upon payouts.

• The Team Challenge Prize Pool shall be distributed among the top seven (7) ranked teams as follows: 

• 1st place: 35%
• 2nd place: 22%
• 3rd place: 15%
• 4th place: 11%
• 5th place: 8%
• 6th place: 5%
• 7th place: 4%
