Normally, only the team that wins the GFQ earns a fully paid spot at the Ultimate Pool Grand Finals, where teams will compete for a $112,000 first-place prize.
This year only, Ultimate Pool USA is giving all teams that participate in the GFQ the opportunity to buy their way into the Grand Finals if they do not win the qualifier.
The optional Grand Finals buy-in is $2,750 per team.
To be clear: the team that wins our GFQ does NOT need to pay the entry fee. The GFQ winning team will have its Grand Finals trip covered as part of the qualifying prize.
This information is simply for teams that do not win the GFQ but are still interested in competing at the Grand Finals.
If your team is interested in the buy-in option, please let us know and we can provide additional information.
Tyler and Margaret Styer,
UPL Wisconsin management
