March Madness isn’t just relegated to the hardwood this month, as the madness hits the poker tables at BetOnline Poker during March Madness Poker Week.
March Madness Poker Weeks runs from March 20-27 at BetOnline Poker. The series includes $175,000 in guaranteed tournament money spread among 62 events, and a special leaderboard structure. Theses tournaments and leaderboards are separated into four categories – Boost tournaments, Turbo tournaments, Hyper tournaments, and PLO tournaments.
How does March Madness at BetOnline Poker work?
Throughout the series there will be multiple daily tournaments from each category with buy-ins ranging from $3.30 to $215. In every tournament you play, you’ll have the chance to earn points in that category’s leaderboard. For example, playing in Turbo tournaments earns you points on the Turbo tournaments leaderboard.
Here’s how the leaderboard point system works. The top 64 players in each tournament will earn points toward the leaderboard standings. At the end of the week on Sunday, March 27 the top 64 players from each leaderboard will earn entry into a $5,000 freeroll. For the mathematically challenges that’s 264 seats max.
Along with the special tournaments and leaderboards BetOnline Poker is also holding special March Mayhem Sit and Go tournaments all week long. These special sit and go tournaments are limited to 64 players.
The March Mayhem Sit and Go tournaments are divided into four stages and getting into Stage 1 will only cost you a quarter. The format for each Sit and Go stage is extremely fast paced.
In Stage 1 the format is a 6-Max Boost PKO with a 10-minute time limit. If you survive to move onto Stage 2 get ready for a 4-Max Button Blind PKO with s six-minute time limit. In Stage 3 it’s heads-up and all-in all the time with instant all-in. The final stage, appropriately dubbed the Final Four, is a 4-Max Mayhem Speed where after six minutes all players are all-in in every hand.
