Play your ring game's first round early

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