Hi everyone
To clear up any confusion, I can confirm the Best 8 scores of all the games you play in the Global Poker Tour will count to your score.
If you play a 9th or subsequent game and beat one of your previous top 8 scores, your score will increase by the difference between the new score and your previous 8th best score.
The confusion seems to be the little pie circle in the Leaderboard. When that fills up, it means you have played 8 games. It does not mean your score is final.
