Kick-Off was step style randomized bounty SnG format where you could advance from $1 onwards to $2 then $5 then $12 and with final stage being $25.
 
They probably didn't have enough players for it to run frequently.

Somehow it also skipped my attention, that this game even existed. So I never played it, and now I guess, I never will 🤣🤣🤣

I think I remember @CRStals did a thread where he went through the steps to 'complete' it, or maybe it was someone else??

I had the occasional dabble, it was fun but frustrating at times too

Edit: Found a thread


It was actually when it was the cycling based, Grand Tour, but I think the general idea was the same

Yeah same idea, I think the Grand-Tour was original and they rebranded it as Neymar Jr Kick-Off
