The Infinite Gauntlet is an ongoing competition held by Primetime Central. It is currently the highest official accolade in PTC since the retiring of the PTC Unified Title. The current Infinite Gauntlet Champion is Curt Cunningham.
Competition
The Infinite Gauntlet works, in nearly every case, as a series. The first step of the series is the Open Invitational, where anyone can compete. Open Invitational rounds are usually not fought for the championship (the one exception being round 31, which was won by Jason Snow) and serve to determine the contenders for the next two or three rounds. Therefore, the champion does not necessarily defend every round.
When it was first conceived, the Infinite Gauntlet was to be, as part of its design, a feeder system for the Global and Extreme titles (and later the Unified title), but this rarely came to pass. The closest it came to being a feeder for anything else was during GTT6 when three rounds were contested for guaranteed spots in the tournament.
One of the Infinite Gauntlet's attractions are the themed rounds, which make the competition interesting by restricting them to a certain format or genre. Aside from this, the Infinite Gauntlet has attracted the most non-PTC winners of any PTC competition, having seven free agent champions so far in its history, more than the winners of every other PTC event and championship put together.
