BetVictor Poker Sit 'N' Go Challenge returns this April
1 Apr 2013
To take part in the Challenge players must opt in via the BetVictor Poker software by clicking on “My Account” and then “SNG Challenge” in the lower left-hand corner of the “My Account” page, which takes players to the SNG Challenge website where they can click the “opt in” button.
Players will then face the challenge of finishing at the top of one or more of the SNG Challenge leaderboards at a variety of buy-ins - “less than €5,” “€5 to €9.99,” €10 to €29.99” and “€30+” - by achieving the highest score through playing a block of consecutive, qualifying SNGs.
They score points for top-place finishes in each sit 'n' go played within blocks of 10 and 50 consecutive and qualifying SNGs. These are then totaled to produce a score and a place on one or more of the leaderboards.
When players play their first SNG in April (after opting-in), their screen name appears on the leaderboard relevant to the stakes at which the SNG was played. When they have completed a block of 10 qualifying SNGs within the same stake range they will receive their first leaderboard score.
The leaderboard always uses players' "optimal block" of SNGs for leaderboard purposes, so if they complete a second block of 10 qualifying SNGs and receive less points in total than in their first block of 10, then their leaderboard score will remain unchanged; players who complete a third block of 10 qualifying SNGs and receive more points than their previous high score and their leaderboard score will improve accordingly.
When players have worked their way up to their fifth block of 10 qualifying SNGs at a particular stake range they will also have completed their first block of 50 qualifying SNGs at the same stake range and receive their first score on the relevant "Block of 50" leaderboard.
Qualifying SNGs include all Euro six-seat and nine-seat Texas hold’em tables except heads up, double up, satellite and feeder tables.
Each of the eight leaderboards (block of 10 and block of 50 at four buy-in levels each) has a total of €6,250 in prizes up for grabs.
Andy Horne, head of poker at BetVictor, said, “Our last Sit 'N' Go Challenge in February proved really popular with lots of players realizing they simply had to participate to be in with a shot of scoring some of the free €50,000 up for grabs.
“There are eight more leaderboards this month so that’s eight more shots and lots of SNG players are going to win. So opt-in and give it a shot. There really is nothing to lose!”
