What do the winners get?

At the end of the member reward period on May 31, 2015, the team with the most number of points gets one free tournament team membership (one team membership plus 7 individual members). Teams in second through fourth get one free team membership. All teams in fifth place or below will be entered into a lottery, where each point they have earned is one entry into the lottery.
