How It Works

Every session starts with 100,000 chips per player and blinds remain at 500/1,000. A rebuy adds another 100,000 chips.

Players who finish the session are ranked by chip profit/loss. If players finish on exactly the same profit/loss, the points for the places they occupy are combined and divided equally.

A player who busts and does not continue is placed from the bottom upward in elimination order: the first player out receives the lowest available place, then the next player out moves one place higher.

All stacks reset after every session. The player with the most league points after the final session is the overall winner.
