Players are the representatives for their line in Endgame.
There are twelve lines who were originally created by the "Keplers," who all of humanity are descended from. For the Players that die, the entirety of their line will also die in the Event, with only the winners' line surviving.
The Players must be thirteen to twenty years of age. Once they turn twenty they are considered ineligible, and another is chosen. Players can also become ineligible due to injury, such is the case with Tate Alopay.
The Players are not chosen hereditarily, as in a parent was a Player so therefore their child also is, but instead seems to be chosen by line "Elders" and past Players, based upon skill.
