Madness Tournament Announcement



Madness Tournaments are back and better than ever! Starting this Thursday, you have the chance to compete in Satellites and Qualifiers, all leading up to the main Madness Tournament event on April 25th!

Heres how it works: Winning Satellite tournaments gives you seats in Qualifier tournaments, and Qualifier tournaments give you the chance to win seats to the main event. Its that easy! With Satellite and Qualifier tournaments being held twice a week, every week, you have plenty of chances to get into the main event and possibly win your share of the main event's $500 Prize pool!

Feeling lucky? You can skip the Satellites and buy a seat in the Qualifiers or even the Madness Tournament itself! With this many ways to win, how can you miss out?

Diamond, Gold, and Silver crowns can receive seats for free! After purchasing the following seats, members will receive a rebate credited to their account within 24 hours:
Diamond Crown - For every 1000 Reward Points you have earned the previous month you will receive 2 free satellite seats.
Gold Crown - For every 1000 Reward Points you have earned the previous month you will receive 1.5 free satellite seats.
Silver Crown - For every 1000 Reward Points you have earned the previous month you will receive 1 free satellite seat.
