PokerStars presents Battle of the Planets.

PokerStars is proud to present a fresh new challenge for their thriving Sit & Go player community.

In addition to their popular weekly, monthly and yearly multi-table (MTT) Tournament Leader Boards, currently paying out over $1M in prize money each year, their 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.

The Sit & Go tournaments are split 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:
