PokerStars Passport
Dust off your passport and get ready to play in some of the greatest

with their biggest tournament leaderboard (TLB) promotion. The
December TLB will be used to award more than $250,000 in live
tournament packages and cash prizes.
The winner of the PokerStars Passport will receive entry into ten big buy-in live tournaments. The
journey begins in Dortmund for the EPT German Open in January 2008 and ends at the
PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January 2009. The passport-holder can select the remaining
eight tournaments from the WSOP* Main Event or any stop on the EPT or APPT.

Battle of the Planets - Sit & Go Tournament Leaderboard
Get ready for blast off, because PokerStars new weekly Leader Board
promotion is truly out of this world. The Battle of the Planets gives
PokerStars Sit & Go players a chance to compete against each other for
prizes worth more than $3,000,000 per year.
In the Battle of the Planets, PokerStars multi-player Sit & Go tournaments have been separated
into eight divisions, all named after planets in our solar system. Everyone can take part in the
competition, no matter how high or low stakes they play. Each planet represents a different range
of buy-ins, from Mercury ($1-$2.99) to Jupiter ($300+).
Each of the eight planet divisions are split into two individual Leader Boards. The first is the Low
Orbit Leader Board, which is tailored towards casual and recreational players. The second is the
High Orbit Leader Board, which is more suited to high volume players.
Each planet division has its own weekly prize pool, distributed evenly between the two Leader
Boards. This gives all players a chance to win some serious cash prizes, no matter what their
level of experience or the size of their bankroll.
But that’s not all. Every player that finishes in the top 10 of any weekly Sit & Go Leader Board will
receive an exclusive ticket to a monthly tournament. This “Battle of the Planets” will see the
highest ranking players from each division come together to fight it out in a triple shootout, for a
monthly prize pool of $50,000!

Multi-Table Tournament Leader Board
Every time you place in the top 15% of a regular multi-table tournament,
you will be awarded Tournament Leader Board (TLB) points. The
amount of points varies depending on the buy-in of the tournament, the
number of entries and the position in which you finish.
TLB points count towards the following three leader boards.
Weekly Leader Board
The player with the highest weekly TLB score gets an opportunity to play against a member of
Team PokerStars Pro in a heads-up challenge match the following Sunday. The Weekly TLB
winner gets to choose the game, with the match itself taking place at 14:00 ET on Sunday. The
prize pool starts at $1,000 and carries over to next week's match if the Team PokerStars Pro
wins.
Monthly Leader Board
The players that finish in the top 200 of the Monthly Leader Board will share $30,000 in cash
prizes, with first place claiming $5,000. In addition, the top 1,000 players will each receive a
ticket to a $20,000 Monthly TLB freeroll.
Yearly Leader Board
The winner of the Yearly Tournament Leader Board will win a five-stamp PokerStars Passport.
This includes buy-in, hotel accommodation and spending money for five major
PokerStars-sponsored live tournaments. The players that finish second and third will win
three-stamp and two-stamp PokerStars Passports respectively.
