A total of six LAPT Awards will be presented this season including the unique LAPT-specific awards: Best 6-Max Player and Best LAPT Venue.
Four of the Awards are based on points accumulated in LAPT Main Events and any LAPT Side Events.
The LAPT Achievement of the Year and LAPT Venue of the Year Awards are voted on by LAPT players at the end of the season. All individual award winners will receive various prize packages for LAPT Season 5.

BEST LAPT ONLINE QUALIFIER OF THE YEAR
The Online Qualifier of the Year is calculated from two distinct ranking systems (live and online). To be eligible for this award, a player needs to have earned points in both rankings:
- Online - 100 points awarded for each time you qualify online at PokerStars for an LAPT Main Event. No additional points are given for multiple seats you win to the same event.
- Live – Only players that have qualified online via PokerStars for the Main Event and have cashed at that event can enter this ranking. Their finishing position at the live event will determine the number of “live” points they earn for this award.
The total of both rankings is then added and the player with most points is considered the Best Online Qualifier.
