The Top 10 on each Leaderboard will receive tickets for the knockout phase. The winner will win a seat at a $10,000 GTD tournament to be held July 12th (buy-in $55). Second to fifth place players will each receive a Semi Final Step ticket and sixth to tenth place players in each tournament will receive a Quarter Final Step ticket.

On the days in which knockout games are played, Intertops will run a special series of scheduled step tournaments that lead into the $10,000 Guaranteed event taking place on the Saturday before the Final. Players can step the whole way from the last 16 to the Final, getting a ticket for potentially one tenth of the final buy-in. It will also be possible to buy in directly at any step level.
