Players receive an aggregate of their machine rankings on their required number of games in each tournament to determine their overall qualifying position. Tickets are priced at 3 for $10, and 7 for $20 (cash sales only at the Event). All money from paid tickets goes into the prize pools. All playoff finalists for THE BEAST Main, Classics and Women’s receive cash prizes based on their finishing position. Additional prizes are given to the top 4 from their respective tournament sponsors. Final payouts are determined by their tournament’s prize pools based on paid entries, which will be updated in real time on Never Drains software on Day 2. In 2023, The Main winner received $3,000, the Classics winner got $2,000! There will also be random prize draws throughout THE BEAST.
