The series runs from the 1st of the month to the last day of the month
Every player receives "Jackpot points " each time they play, relevant to the number playing on the day and the placing achieved by the player
Prizes:
The BBO Masterpoints are awarded on the day and can be viewed immediately after the tournament finishes by clicking on the Tournament Result button in the tournament lobby.
20% (rounded up to nearest $) of the entry fees each day is pooled to form the Prize Pool which is accumulated until the end of the series. It is then divided up amongst the top 20 overall points placegetters and 2 random draws are made so that every player has a chance of winning a prize.
