Sit & Go Madness

Time for 48 hours of Madness.

Take part in Sit & Go Madness to win your share of more than $125,000 in cash and prizes – including entry to the $50K Madness Freeroll – just by playing your favorite single-table Sit & Gos.

The more Sit & Gos you play during the 48 hours of Madness, the more chance you have to win cash and prizes.

The action kicks off at 16:00 ET on Friday, August 27th and runs through 16:00 ET on Sunday, August 29th. Play your favorite Sit & Gos to win your cut of Leaderboard prize money, tickets to the Madness Raffle and entry to the Madness Freeroll, where you’ll play for your share of a $50,000 prize pool.

The Method to Our Madness

To participate in Sit & Go Madness, look for Sit & Gos highlighted in green. Buy-ins for these tournaments are broken into four separate groups, as shown below:

The 48 hours of Sit & Go Madness will be divided into 24, two-hour blocks (e.g., 16:00 ET to 18:00 ET, 18:00 ET to 20:00 ET, and so forth) throughout the weekend with a Leaderboard for each of the four groups during every time period. The top seven players in each group will be paid at the end of every two-hour block:

Sit & Go Madness
	GROUP A $1 to $2	GROUP B $5 to $11	GROUP C $20 to $33	GROUP D $50 to $110
1st place	$20	$100	$200	$500
2nd place	$12.50	$60	$125	$300
3rd place	$7.50	$40	$75	$200
4th place	$5	$25	$50	$125
5th place	$2.50	$12.50	$25	$60
6th place	$1.50	$7.50	$15	$40
7th place	$1	$5	$10	$25

Overall Leaderboards

There is also an Overall Leaderboard for each group over the entire 48-hour period. The Overall Leaderboard is determined by the best performance in one of the two-hour time periods. There is no cumulative calculation with the Overall Leaderboards.

So, if a player in Group A earns 100 points for the 22:00 ET to 00:00 ET period on Friday and then 150 points for the 00:00 ET to 02:00 ET period on Saturday, it's only the 150 points that will be reflected on the Overall Leaderboard.

The top two players in each group's Overall Leaderboard will meet in a $5K Sit & Go Freeroll where the top three places will be paid. The Freeroll will take place the following weekend - Saturday, September 4th at 15:05 ET. So even if you put up a high score in one of the two-hour blocks, it pays to keep trying to best your score.

The Madness Freeroll

Even if you don't make it onto one of the Sit & Go Madness Leaderboards or win a prize in The Madness Raffle, you still have a chance to walk away a big winner with the $50K Madness Freeroll.

Taking place on Saturday, September 4th at 16:50 ET, earn your entry by winning at least two green Sit & Gos during the 48 hours of Sit & Go Madness. Once you’ve won two Sit & Gos, you’ll receive a Tournament Ticket for the $50K Madness Freeroll, which can be found in the Tournaments lobby of Full Tilt Poker. First place is estimated to be around $5,000, so it pays to keep trying to win at least two Sit & Gos during The Madness.

The Madness Raffle

Because giving away cash just isn't crazy enough, we're going even madder. For every qualifying green Sit & Go that you cash in during Sit & Go Madness (finish in the top three in a nine-player Sit & Go or the top two in a six-player Sit & Go), you'll earn one raffle ticket good for entry into a draw for Steps Tournaments tickets and a selection of exclusive gear from the Full Tilt Store.

There will be more than 1,000 prizes given away in the raffle. See the chart below for a full list of prizes:
