The tournament schedule features three distinct buy-in tiers: a $109 event with a $500,000 guarantee, a $33 tournament offering $100,000, and a $5.50 entry level with a $50,000 prize pool. All events kick off with initial Day 1 flights on October 18, with the final bounty phase scheduled for November 1. Players can enter multiple starting flights to bolster their stacks, though no bounty payments are awarded until the Day 2 transition.

The Mystery PKO system functions by splitting knockouts into two components. When a player eliminates an opponent, they secure 50% of the bounty immediately, while the remainder increases their own progressive bounty. During the final phase, mystery prizes are revealed upon each knockout, potentially triggering significant payouts that feed directly into the player's own increasing bounty value. This cycle ensures that rewards compound throughout the late stages of the tournament.
