An extra $175,000 will be awarded to the three top-ranked players in the tour standings ($100k, $50k and $25k for first, second and third, respectively). In case of a tie for first place in the overall standings, a GCT playoff will take place on September 12.

The players receive 90 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes to the end of the game, plus a 30-second increment starting from move one.
