POKERSTARS LEAGUE
The PokerStars League has stopped temporarily and will return in the near future in an improved format.
The PokerStars League gives you the opportunity to compete online every month against other PokerStars.fr players. At the end of the month, the league goes back to zero and starts again. Play for as many points as you can every month and win great cash prizes for finishing high on the leader board.
PokerStars.fr includes three different divisions: two real money and one play money, which allows you to play freerolls only. The tournaments in each division determine the leader boards. The table below shows information about the tournaments making up each division.
| League | Buy-in | Tournament time |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Division | €11 | 21:20 CET |
| 2nd Division | €1 | 21:00 CET |
| 3rd Division | Freeroll | 20:40 CET |
Points are awarded for each tournament as follows:
| Place | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | 20 |
| 2 | 18 |
| 3 | 16 |
| 4 | 15 |
| 5 | 14 |
| 6 | 13 |
| 7 | 12 |
| 8 | 11 |
| 9 | 10 |
| Other place in the money* | 5 |
| Any other contestant | 1 |
* In the 3rd Division, 5 points will be awarded to players finishing in places 10-50. Players finishing below 50th place will receive 1 point for their participation.
The total number of available points in any PokerStars League tournament is therefore as above – points cannot be cumulated. For example, if you finish in the money, you will earn 5 points. However, you will not earn 5 points for your paid place plus 1 point for your participation.
The leader boards will show players who have won the most points in any given division tournament during the calendar month. At the end of the month, prizes will be awarded to the players who finished in the top 100 of the leader board.
The table below shows prizes for each division, listed by position.
| Place | Division 1 (€) | Division 2 (€) | Division 3 (€) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 600 | 100 | 50 |
