Invitational
Romancing the Stones tournament series are divided into seasons. Each season lasts about a year, and ends with the Romancing the Stones Invitational for that season. The winner becomes the Romancing the Stones Season Champion, and earns a year of bragging rights.

The following players have secured their chance to battle to become the Romancing the Stones Season 7 champion.

Invites
Invites to the players who will qualify for the Invitational are given out for:
- 1 invite to last season’s invitational champion
- Winning a single-day or league event
Players can never earn more than one invitation. Thus, if a player who is already invited places 1st at an event, the invitation for that event would go to the 2nd place finisher. If that player is also already invited, 3rd and 4th place will face off for the invite.
