The Madness is back!
Take part in Sit & Go Madness to win your share of more than $125,000 in cash and prizes – including entry to the $50K Madness Freeroll – just by playing your favorite single-table Sit & Gos.
The action kicks off at 16:00 ET on Friday, August 21st and runs through 16:00 ET on Sunday, August 23rd. Play your favorite Sit & Gos to win your cut of Leaderboard prize money, tickets to the Madness Raffle and entry to the Madness Freeroll, where you’ll play for your share of a $50,000 prize pool.
To participate in Sit & Go Madness, look for Sit & Gos highlighted in green. Buy-ins for these tournaments are broken into four separate groups, as shown below:

The 48 hours of Sit & Go Madness will be divided into 24, two-hour blocks (e.g., 16:00 ET to 18:00 ET, 18:00 ET to 20:00 ET, and so forth) throughout the weekend with a Leaderboard for each of the four groups during every time period. The top seven players in each group will be paid at the end of every two-hour block:
Sit & Go Madness | |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GROUP A $1 to $2 | GROUP B $5 to $11 | GROUP C $20 to $33 | GROUP D $50 to $110 |
||
| 1st place | $20 | $100 | $200 | $500 | |
| 2nd place | $12.50 | $60 | $125 | $300 | |
| 3rd place | $7.50 | $40 | $75 | $200 | |
| 4th place | $5 | $25 | $50 | $125 | |
| 5th place | $2.50 | $12.50 | $25 | $60 | |
| 6th place | $1.50 | $7.50 | $15 | $40 | |
| 7th place | $1 | $5 | $10 | $25 | |
There is also an Overall Leaderboard for each group over the entire 48-hour period. The Overall Leaderboard is determined by the best performance in one of the two-hour time periods. There is no cumulative calculation with the Overall Leaderboards.
So, if a player in Group A earns 100 points for the 22:00 ET to 00:00 ET period on Friday and then 150 points for the 00:00 ET to 02:00 ET period on Saturday, it's only the 150 points that will be reflected on the Overall Leaderboard.
The top two players in each group's Overall Leaderboard will meet in a $5K Sit & Go Freeroll where the top three places will be paid. The Freeroll will take place the following weekend - Saturday, August 29th at 15:05 ET. So even if you put up a high score in one of the two-hour blocks, it pays to keep trying to best your score.
Even if you don't make it onto one of the Sit & Go Madness Leaderboards or win a prize in The Madness Raffle, you still have a chance to walk away a big winner with the $50K Madness Freeroll.
Taking place on Saturday, August 29th at 16:50 ET, earn your entry by winning at least two Sit & Gos during the 48 hours of Sit & Go Madness. Once you’ve won two Sit & Gos, you’ll automatically be registered for the $50K Madness Freeroll, which can be found in the Tournaments lobby of Full Tilt Poker. First place is estimated to be around $5,000, so it pays to keep trying to win at least two Sit & Gos during The Madness.
Because giving away cash just isn't crazy enough, we're going even madder. For every qualifying green Sit & Go that you cash in during Sit & Go Madness (finish in the top three in a nine-player Sit & Go or the top two in a six-player Sit & Go), you'll earn one raffle ticket good for entry into a drawing for some cool gear from the Full Tilt Store and entries to our great Sunday events.
