Tiebreaker

In the event of a tie for any prize, the team that has used the smallest amount of the $200 team budget will be declared the winner, and the other team(s) will be moved down a place(s).
If the result is still a tie, the answer to the tiebreaker question (“How many players will enter the 2026 WSOP Main Event?”) will determine the prize order. The team closest to the actual number (above or below) will be declared the winner, and the other team(s) will be moved down a place(s).
If winners are still tied, a random draw will decide who gets the package. The other team(s) will be moved down a place(s).
