The Teams will compete in regular season League Matches. The end of the season culminates in a Championship Event where the Teams will battle it out for the ultimate title: U.S Team Poker Champions!

If another team finishes with the same score (the top two finishers got second and 10th, for example), the third score is used as a tie-breaker.
