Full Tilt Poker has $125,000 in cash and prizes to be won in Sit & Go Madness from Friday, 19 June to Sunday, 21 June.

From 16:00ET on Friday to the same time on Sunday, Full Tilt Poker players can win fantastic prizes by playing in special green highlighted Sit & Go tournaments. There are three ways to win a part of the Sit & Go Madness prizemoney – staying high on the leaderboards, through the Madness Freeroll, or through the Madness Raffle.

The most direct way to win money in the Full Tilt Poker Sit & Go Madness promotion will be to rank highly in the leaderboards. Tournaments will be divided into four price categories: Group A for $1 to $2 games, Group B for $5 to $11 games, Group C for $20 to $33 games, and Group D for $50 to $110 games.

By scoring the most points in a group for a two-hour block, you win first place and extra money depending on the group that you won. This is paid down to seventh place in each group, with Group A starting with a first place prize of $20 down to a seventh place prize of $1, and Group D starting with a prize of $500 in first place to $25 in seventh place.

An overall leaderboard for the entire promotion will also be running for each group. This will be ranked by the highest points accrued in any two-hour block. It will not be cumulative between time blocks. The top two players in each group will gain entry into a $5,000 Sit & Go Freeroll, with the top three places getting paid. This tournament will be held the following Saturday, 27 June.

Those who cannot get up on the leaderboard are not necessarily out of the game. Anyone who wins two or more qualifying Sit & Gos during the promotion gains access to the $50,000 Madness Freeroll, to be held on Saturday, 27 June. This promises to be an exciting tournament, with a first place prize of around $5,000.

Finally, even less successful players can get a piece of the Sit & Go Madness prizes, with the Madness Raffle giveaway. For every green qualifying game that you cash in, you will receive a Madness Raffle ticket that could win a prize from the Full Tilt store. The top prize is a Full Tilt Poker Deluxe Home Game Package. This includes a poker table, 500-piece chip set, black leather poker deck set, and a red leather poker deck set. Other prizes to be won are tournament dollars, tournament tokens, t-shirts, and caps.
