What happens after the tournament?

Upon completion of the event, players who have won slots into the World Championships will be required to pick up their competitor packets at the registration desk. All release forms and waivers contained in the competitor packets must be completed and signed prior to departing the event area for the evening.
 
As the tournament is likely to end late in the evening, POP recommends players who earn slots in the World Championships retire to their rooms to get rested for the World Championships Main Event, for which there is an 8 a.m. deck registration time.
 
Additional participants may be offered slots, if any become available, based upon their finish order and if the participant is on site at the time the Main Event begins.
