Do I need to be a Buckets Club member to play?
Yes. Very similar to the Buckets Club tournaments, a membership allows
you access to play in the tournaments. Your membership ID will be requested to
purchase a registration space.

to compete in the pro class however, space will be limited to 1 pro per group
with 3 amateurs (or Buckets Club members)

How do I qualify for the Championship?
At each tour stop, the top gross finisher and the top net finisher will automatically qualify, advancing toward a Championship field of approximately 40 players. Additional spots will be awarded based on cumulative points earned throughout the season.
At the conclusion of the season, players with the highest cumulative point totals in both the net and gross categories will earn an invitation to the Championship, subject to the final season-long playing format.

No. Buckets Club remains the foundation of the community. The Buckets Cup
is an evolution, a competitive pathway built on top of Buckets Club for members
who want to test their game on a national stage.
