The first day of Bootcamp will feature a cash game format with a number of twists designed to push the competitors to their limits.

During the BOSS & Cash event, players can earn extra chips for the Final Table simulation on Day 3. They achieve this by completing various poker challenges during this first event. Each player receives three unique challenges that are not known by the other players. The more challenges they complete, the more chips they earn. A challenge could be, for example: Win a hand with 7-2.

The 9 players can 'loan' 100,000 chips up to 4 times from the BOSS bank, as long as their total chip count does not exceed 200.000. However, by the end of the evening, they must return these chips to the bank. If they are unable to do so, they lose valuable points in this event, and consequently, in the ranking.

At random intervals, BOSS will introduce cash drops in the game. These will add an additional 10, 20 or 30 BB to the pot, giving players an extra incentive to win certain hands.

The biggest winner of the night will be awarded a Golden Chip, which can be used in the Deep in the Woods event to get an extra bullet.

A total of T$1,000 will be distributed among the players. T$500 is divided among the players still active at the end of the session and the remaining T$500 is divided among the players ending the night with profit.

Day 2 of the BOSS9 Bootcamp challenges participants in both knowledge and tournament skill. They will first play a poker-themed quiz where they can add valuable chips to their stacks for the Final Table simulation and in the afternoon they face each other again in a Sit and Go tournament format, titled El Clasico: a traditional tournament with some exciting twists.

Whenever a player eliminates another player, they win a "mystery bag" that contains a mystery amount of chips for the Final Table on Day 3.

The winner will  again receive a golden chip worth an extra starting stack on day 4 in the Deep in the Woods event.

A total of T$1,000 will be awarded based on the players’ final positions in El Clasico

The third day of the BOSS9 Bootcamp features a Final Table Simulation designed to mirror the tension and dynamics of a real final table, with players beginning the game with varying chip stacks based on their performance in the first two days of Bootcamp.

Players’ starting stacks will be based on their performance in the previous two days. They all have the same base stack, but possibly supplemented with bonus chips from the Day 1 challenges, Day 2 quiz or the Bounties from El Clasico.

The winner of the Final Table Simulation will receive a Golden Chip, granting an extra advantage for the Deep in the Woods event on day 4.

The final event of the Bootcamp is Deep in the Woods, a deep stack Sit and Go format that challenges players to utilise strategic depth and manage large chip stacks effectively.

150,000 chips divided into three separate stacks of 50,000 chips. Players can start with one, two, or all three stacks.

Players with Golden Chips from previous events will receive an extra 50,000k stack per chip.

After the dinner break, players must bring remaining unused stacks into play.

The fifth day of the BOSS9 Final is the BOSS Bash Online, combining poker competition with a social and community-driven challenge.

All nine finalists will participate in a set of four simultaneous Sit and Go’s on GG.  A player's total score is the sum of their finishing places across four SNGs

Every finalist hosts their own Personal event on GGPoker, open to the public. The more entries they can gather for their event, the more points they score.

The final event in the BOSS9 competition is the Capo Event, combining individual and team-based play. At the end of the day the new BOSS will be known!

The finalists will compete in one last SNG with a rather fast structure.

A €50 buy-in Main Event will take place alongside the individual SNG. Each finalist will bring a team of 14 players that can score extra points for their capo.
