Global Championship
The flagship annual championship. Qualify through elimination rounds; the Top 16 compete in the Live In-Person Finals. One Global Champion takes home £1,000 and the trophy.
Qualifiers run as elimination rounds (Round of 256 → 128 → 64 → 32 → 16). Each round is a timed quiz; winners advance. The last 16 players qualify for the Live In-Person Finals, streamed live. At the finals, all 16 compete in person; the winner is crowned Global Champion and receives £1,000, a trophy, and a certificate. All 16 finalists receive an award; the awards ceremony is held the same day with a special guest.
Entry fee: £5. You get a chance to win the prize, finalist awards, and an invitation to the Live Finals if you make the Top 16.
