Prizes
Our 2020 prize fund is set out in the tables, below.
Gibraltar Masters
Note: a player not appearing for their last round game is ineligible for a rating prize.
A player may not win more than one complete prize from this table.
Masters: The first prize may not be shared. All other prizes shall be shared where players have the same score (except the Women’s First Prize).
In the event of a tie for first place, there shall be a speed play-off.
If there are two or four players tied for first place, there will be a speed knock-out play-off for the first prize of £30,000. If three players tie for first place, the player with the highest performance rating will be seeded directly into the Final of the Play-Off; the other two players will contest the Semi-Final.
If more than four players tie for first place, the four players with the highest performance ratings shall qualify for the play-off to decide the first prize.
