And in a more extreme scenario, it's possible for someone to not play any of these "playoff" events and still end up with the "championship".

I'm not sure this is possible. Care to explain?

Again, I may not have a firm understanding of all the rules, but assume something like the following:

-someone have a huge points lead coming in to these "playoff" tournaments
-a variety of people win and place high in these final 4 tournaments, distributing the points enough to where no one ends up catching this initial leader

To be extreme, say player A has won every tournament up until now. Isn't it feasible that no one could catch that person in points after the final 4 tournaments?

Or are there so many points up for grabs in these final four tournaments that it's just mathematically impossible to end up with the points lead if you don't play?
