- Tie break: In the event of equal points at the end of season, positions are determined on a countback system, where more of these will position you higher, in that order: Wins, Knockouts, Points, Average points per round played. If two players are still equal first after countback, we go to heads-up results bewteen those players. If still a tie, a heads up round ($2K starting stack) will be played at the last round to determine a winner. (other ladder positions are determined the same way)
- Valid rounds: A minimum of 5 players needed to qualify as a round. Less than 5 players cancels the round (unless all players that were available for scheduled night agree to change the date).
After 11 rounds the winner will be the player with most points. Prize consists of Stage 2 Aussie Millions Opening Event Ticket (or equivalent), with remainder in cash.
