Each player receives 10,000 Sports Legends Challenge credits upon registration which can be redeemed for entry into any combination of the daily tournaments, as follows:
| Event | Credits to Enter - Each Daily Tournament |
| Poker | 2,000 |
| Blackjack | 1,000 |
| Slots | 1,000 |
| Golf | 5,000 |
Players may enter as many tournaments as their credits, scheduling and availability allow.
Sports Legends Challenge Credits have no cash value and can only be used for entry into daily Sports Legends Challenge tournaments.
Players may register online or on-site for the daily tournaments on a first come/first serve basis, subject to availability. For golf tournament registration, preference will be given to those registering for their first golf tournament. Registration for entry into a second tournament will be subject to availability once those registering for their first golf tournament are accommodated.
Daily tournaments will be held on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3.
Championship rounds for all tournaments will be held on Day 4.
All daily tournaments and championship rounds are freeroll tournaments.
Players will compete in tournaments individually and will also accumulate points for the Sports Legends team to which they have been assigned. In addition to individual cash prizes, the members of the overall championship team will receive a cash prize. See Payout Schedule for details.

A total of 42 players will advance to the championship round.
The top-2 finishers from each daily tournament qualify for the championship round. A player may only earn one qualifying position in the Slots championship round. Should a player qualify more than once for the championship round, additional players will be selected based on highest slots score for players that did not finish in the top-2 for each daily tournament.
