Remaining Route
Three Majors Left
The Pacific Rim opens the second half of qualification. World Invitational selection and the Gasm Gauntlet can still move a contender from comfortable to cutline in one weekend.
The World Invitational
Lausanne, Switzerland · TBD
An invite-only field of thirty-two competitors plus federation-approved alternates, staged within inconvenient walking distance of IBGF headquarters. The result can reshape the World Finals cutline before the Gasm Gauntlet.
The Gasm Gauntlet
Las Vegas, Nevada · TBD
Ten stages. One body. No mercy. The final Major and the circuit's most feared championship qualifier.
World Finals · Las Vegas · Coming Soon
Twenty-Four In. One Grin.
The World Finals award no qualification points. By then the field is locked, the appeals window is closed and the only remaining table that matters has one column for the Golden Grin.
