PokerStars Reveals Sit & Go Leaderboard[ return to main articles page ]

PokerStars has long been known as a premier site for Sit & Go players of all stakes. Recently, the world's largest online tournament poker site began its Battle of the Planets promotion, which will reward its loyal Sit & Go players of all buyin levels to the tune of over $4 million per year. By separating the Battle of the Planets Leaderboard into eight divisions, PokerStars has made it possible for everyone to participate - from small stakes casual players to full-time high stakes pros. Following is a press release from PokerStars with more information on how to be a part of the Battle of the Planets:

PokerStars is proud to present a fresh new challenge for our thriving Sit & Go player community. In fact we’d say that our new weekly Sit & Go Tournament Leader Board (TLB), the Battle of the Planets, is out of this world!

In addition to our popular weekly, monthly and yearly multi-table (MTT) Tournament Leader Boards, currently paying out over $1M in prize money each year, our new Battle of the Planets weekly Sit & Go Tournament Leader Boards will provide more players with the chance to have their skills recognized…and rewarded.

We’ve split up our Sit & Go tournaments into eight divisions – named after the planets in our solar system – each covering a different level of buy-in, ranging from $1 - $2.99 (Mercury) all the way up to $300+ (Jupiter). To make things fair for the different types of Sit & Go players, within each division there are both a Low Orbit and High Orbit Leader Board.

To be eligible to chart on the Low Orbit Leader Board, you only need to play 20 tournaments in a week, in a particular division. The High Orbit Leader Board requires a larger number of tournaments to be eligible for the rankings – at least 100 in a particular division in a week. And if you play at different levels, you can win prize money in as many divisions as you like! Every week the Battle of the Planets Leader Boards will award more than $50K in prize money.

Once you hit the rankings summit, the weekly prize money is just the beginning of your Battle of the Planets experience. Each month we’ll also put the top 10 players from each BOP Leader Board into a special triple shootout event, where the planetary divisions will battle it out with another $50,000 in prize money up for grabs!

If you’ve got the game, then a share of the rewards could be coming your way. All of this is in addition to what we already offer on our MTT Leader Boards. In total, we’ll be rewarding our loyal tournament players with more than $4M in Leader Board payouts every year!
