How it Works:
The Bodog Poker Blogger Tournament Series is composed of a series of 18 qualifying tournaments that run weekly from Tuesday, February 5th, 2008 to Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008. The top 30% of finishers in each qualifying tournament will earn points based on their finish. These points will be used to rank players over 4 months of qualifying. At the end of the qualifying series, the top 18 players on the Tournament Leader Board will play in the Final Tournament on Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 with the first place finisher winning a $12,000 WSOP* prize package!

Tournament Leader Board
The Tournament Leader Board will be available throughout the course of the Bodog Poker Blogger Tournament Series. It will provide the point totals for every player that has played in the qualifying tournaments. The top 30% of players in each tournament will receive points according to finish which at the end of the qualifying tournaments will ultimately determine who will move on to the Final Event. The top 18 players on the TLB at the end of the qualifiers will earn their way to the Final Event.
The formula used to calculate points for the Leader Board standings after each event is as follows:
Points = 10 * (SQRT(N)/SQRT(R)) * (SQRT(SQRT(B))+0.2)
- N = Number of players entered in the tournament.
- R = Finish Rank of the player for the tournament.
- B = Buy-in of the tournament.
