additional $500, and advance to the 1st round of playoffs (24 Hrs).
The top 40 players of the 1st round will receive another $1000 each
and move into the 2nd round of playoffs (24Hrs). The top 20 players
go to the final round (24Hrs) and receive another $2000 each, and
the top 10 players of the final round will receive another $3000,
for a total of $7000 in potential earnings per season (28 days). The
league players must play 25 games in the assigned 25-day period to
earn $500. The games can be played at any time during the 25 days.
Any ties will be broken by the date and time of completion of all 25
