We’re bringing something new to LPPL for Feb, replacing the usual area league system - but that'll be back for Mar 😊
All players will be ‘ranked’ based on their qualification from the Dec/Jan leagues, as follows
Gold Qualifiers = Gold League Ranking
Silver Qualifiers = Silver League Ranking
Bronze Qualifiers = Bronze League Ranking
All Others = Qualifier League Ranking
Running from 1st to 28th Feb, all players will start off ranked as above on 1st Feb, and with 4 x weekly playing sessions throughout Feb will have points awarded from all regular league daily games towards their WEEKLY score, with players within ‘each ranking league’ competing against EACH OTHER on a WEEKLY BASIS.
So, all players who qualify for the Gold Final from Dec/Jan, from all 8 leagues, will be ranked in the ‘Gold League Ranking’ and compete against each other throughout Week 1 (as will Silver /Bronze/Qualifier).
At the end of EACH Week, the 'top players' will transfer to the league above, the 'middle players' will remain in their same League Ranking, and the bottom players will transfer to the league below – AND POINTS WILL BE RESET TO ZERO FOR THE START OF THE NEW WEEKLY LEAGUE RANKINGS.
So, players will ‘transfer’ at the end of each of the 4 weekly sessions, and at the end of Week 4, after transfers have been made, players qualify for the Finals Weekend from those positions:
Thu 11 Mar: QUALIFIERS League Ranking Final
Fri 12 Mar: BRONZE League Ranking Final
Sat 13 Mar: SILVER League Ranking Final
Sun 14 Mar: GOLD League Ranking Final
Mon 15 Mar: GRAND FINAL Playoff
Gold League Ranking Final
Silver League Ranking Final
Bronze League Ranking Final
Qualifier League Final for all players who meet the qualifying criteria

The Weekly Finals are on Fridays:
12th Feb (league 1st-7th Feb)
19th Feb (league 8th-14th Feb)
26th Feb (league 15th-21st Feb)
5th Mar (league 22nd-28th Feb)
*The usual Golden Tickets (36) will be awarded prior to the Weekly Top Dog Golden Tickets, which will drop down until won by a player without a Golden Ticket, and the usual ‘max 1 prize per player’ will remain for the Finals Weekend. Grand Final Playoff tickets will NOT drop down - subsequent entries won by the same player will simply reduce the number of players in the Grand Final Playoff. At the end of each week the transferring ‘numbers’ and ‘max games to total leaderboard score’ will be reviewed.
All LPPL packages are non-transferable and are valid for winners' to use for 3 years, after which they will expire. A player may use any 'subsequent' package for a partner / friend to travel with them and share accommodation on the same trip, or of course, use it themselves for a different trip (as valid for 3 years). Where a player qualifies to play in a 'higher' Final (eg, finish top 3 in Playoffs, or Bronze, and qualify to play in next highest final) then if that player goes on to win a higher value prize in the higher final, then ONLY that higher value prize is awarded - a player can only win one prize during a Finals Weekend, which will be the highest valued prize - this does NOT include any Grand Final Stack / Seat, which will still be awarded if a Silver Qualifier earns a seat in the Gold Final and wins a Grand Final Stack with a lesser valued prize than the Silver Final - in this instance they would win / retain the highest value prize PLUS get the Grand Final Stack / Seat.
Prize packages will be added to your LPPL Member Account, and 'cash only' prizes paid by Party Poker direct to your PP player account in the week following the Finals Weekend.
