Reserve a room

At the Satellite Tournaments you can play the first round of your Vegas Ring Game before you arrive at WSBG 2025
The great thing about playing your first round at a Satellite is, if you win, you start at round two when you arrive at WSBG 2025
If you lose at the Satellite, well you get to play the first round over again at WSBG 2025

Notice: with only 16 seats per game most of the tournaments will sell out early!
