Supporting Events and Schedule Notes

The published headline tournament is the $1,100 To the Moon, with a $250,000 guarantee. Other events include Dream Away 40K, Summit Stack, bounty formats and restricted-entry RunGood winners’ events. The Winners Circle and Dream Seat Invitational are listed for 2023–2026 RunGood ring winners; they are not open-entry events for every visitor. RunGood’s event heading and published daily timetable end December 2. Preliminary package satellites begin November 23.

Use the complete official event schedule to check side-event start times, satellites and any changes. Do not assume that every event is open to all players; age restrictions, team formats and invitational eligibility can apply.

The RunGood master calendar currently gives November 27–December 3 and labels the stop Dream Factory, while the stop-specific page is headed Golden Expedition and its daily timetable ends December 2. This guide retains the stop-specific November 27–December 2 range and existing event identity; confirm the final date and series branding with RunGood before booking travel.

Registration and Tournament Structures

The daily schedule confirms buy-ins, tournament dates and advertised guarantees. Each event’s structure controls its starting stack, blind progression, late-registration cutoff and re-entry conditions.

The official event page publishes a daily timetable, but its schedule-flyer and structure-sheet labels do not currently provide working downloads. Obtain event-specific registration and re-entry rules from tournament staff before entering.

Before entering, confirm the complete entry cost, any venue membership requirements, identification requirements and the rules for playing multiple flights. A satellite award may have redemption restrictions that differ from a direct entry.

Planning Your Tournament Visit

Build travel around the tournaments you actually intend to enter. Allow for the return day if you advance, and compare overlapping side events before committing to more than one tournament.

Review the official RunGood event page again shortly before traveling. Tournament management can revise schedules and structures, and the current event-specific materials should guide registration decisions.
