2023-24 competition
Competition overview
Players will gain points based on finishing in the top places of the most prestigious events on the EBU calendar. For the purposes of the competition the 'year' is events which finish in the period 1st October to 30th September (some events may start before that date). While this competition will appeal to those battling for the top prize, we also hope that it will prompt some friendly rivalries amongst those lower down the points list as they vie for bragging rights and aim to see their name listed alongside the game's elite. In 2023-24 the tournaments and points awarded are as follows:

Points Structure
| Teams Events | Final | Runners-Up | Semi-Final | Quarter-Final | |
| Gold Cup | 16 | 8 | 3 | 1 | |
| Premier League | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | |
| Point-a-Board Teams | 4 | 2 | |||
| Spring Fours | 14 | 8 | 4 | 1 | |
| 4 Star Teams | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1 | |
| Crockfords Cup | 12 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
| Pairs Events | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th |
| Autumn Congress | 6 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
| National Pairs | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1 | |
| Easter Pairs | 6 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
| Summer Meeting Swiss Pairs | 12 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
In the event of a tie for any placings, the points for that and the lower position will be shared, even if the tie is split for other purposes, with the exception of the final award in which case the lowest award will be given to both pairs/teams. For example, a tie for 2nd and 3rd place in the National Pairs would see both pairs awarded 3 points - (4+2)/2. If two pairs tied for 4th in the National Pairs, all four players would receive 1 point.
