How it Works:The Bodog Poker Mini Series Tournament Series is composed of a series of 25 tournaments that run from Friday, May 30th 2008 to Thursday, July 3rd 2008. The top 30% of finishers in each Mini Series tournament will earn points based on their finish. These points will be used to rank players. At the end of the qualifying series we will host two tournaments: a Semifinal on Tuesday, July 8th 2008 for players ranked 5th-100th on the Tournament Leader Board, and then the Final Tournament on Thursday, July 10th 2008, which will feature the top four finishers on the Tournament Leader Board, the top 18 finishers from the Semifinal, and five "Wild Cards" selected randomly from all players that played in at least three Mini Series Tournaments.

Tournament Leader BoardThe Tournament Leader Board will be available throughout the course of the Bodog Poker Mini Series 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 Semifinal and Final Tournaments.
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.
